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.
Originally established as Shakunika Vihar Jain Temple in 220 BCE, the structure was transformed into a mosque in 1325 CE under the direction of Umar bin Ahmad al-Kazaruni.
The structure displays a combination of Islamic and local architectural elements, with decorated pillars featuring engrailed arches and temple-inspired decorative patterns.
The mosque contains separate prayer areas for men and women, with perforated screens providing privacy in the women's gallery section.
