Malik Alam's Mosque, Medieval mosque in Shah Alam area, Ahmedabad, India

The mosque spans 112 feet in length and 31 feet in width, featuring five domes supported by 72 pillars and 44 pilasters arranged throughout the structure.

Built in 1422 by Malik Alam bin Kabir, the son-in-law of Sultan Ahmed Shah I, who held the prestigious title of Vazir-ul-Mamalik during his reign.

The interior of this religious edifice contains five marble mihrabs on its back wall, serving as direction indicators for prayer within the expansive worship space.

The mosque maintains active daily prayer services and functions as a religious center for the Muslim community within the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.

Both original minarets of the mosque fell during an earthquake in 1819 and were subsequently removed by the Public Works Department in 1882.
