Baba Lului's Mosque

The mosque spans 69 feet in length and 37 feet in width, featuring twelve central pillars that support a grand central dome and marble mihrabs.

Pearl merchant Baba Muhammad Jafar, also known as Baba Lului, commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1560 during the Mughal period.

The mosque exhibits forty-four pillars supporting decorative arches, with perforated stone windows and minarets adorned in floral patterns at each end of the facade.

The Archaeological Survey of India restored the building after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, ensuring its continued use as an active place of worship.

Each minaret rises from a fourteen-square-foot base, incorporating niches with intricate stone carvings that demonstrate regional craftsmanship techniques.
