Jami Mosque, Khambhat, 13th century mosque in Khambhat, India.

The mosque structure incorporates 100 pillars in its main sanctuary and features intricate arches influenced by the Khalji dynasty architectural elements.

The mosque contains separate prayer areas for men and women, with perforated screens providing privacy in the women's gallery section.

The entrance includes a traditional Hindu-style Mandap pavilion and Toran carvings, preserving elements from its previous existence as a temple.
