Qutub-e-Alam's Mosque

The mosque and tomb complex features geometric patterns, stone carvings, and a large mausoleum topped with a decorative canopy and double-tiered arches.

Built during the reign of Ahmed Shah II, the shrine expanded into a mosque and mausoleum under Mahmud Begada to honor Suhrawardi saint Qutub-e-Alam.

The structure combines flat Hindu architectural elements with Islamic design principles, reflecting the regional building techniques of medieval Gujarat.

Located at coordinates 22.9566°N and 72.6136°E, the Monument of National Importance welcomes visitors interested in exploring Islamic architecture and religious heritage.

The mausoleum's design excludes outer aisles and stone trellis work in windows, setting it apart from other tombs of the period.
