"The Muhafiz Khan Mosque is a fifteenth-century mosque located in the city of Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujarat"
"Visited Jan 2020"
"One of the most oldest n beautiful mosque of Ahmadabad having minarates, and micro level stone work, across on the whole minarates this mosque get repaired in 1881 during British rule, British library having its old pictures which we can search on google, but unfortunately surrounding this mosque many illegally construction has been done which has hidden the mosque"
"Built by the governor Muhafiz Khan in 1465, the best part of this mosque is that the minarets were not damaged on account of the earthquakes (due to its huge base unlike other mosques)"
"A local kind maulvi gave me tour of the interior of the mosque"
The Muhafiz Khan Mosque is a fifteenth-century mosque located in the city of Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is considered to be one of the more exceptional structures in the city.[1] The mosque was constructed in 1465 by Jamail-ud-Din Muhafiz Khan during the reign of Mahmud Shah I (1458-1511), and is considered to be an excellent example of Mughal architecture.[2] It is named for the governor of the region at that time. The mosque is a protected building under the auspices of the Archaeological Survey of India. The façade of the mosque has three arched entrances and a richly carved minaret at either end. The design has similarities with the Isanpur mosque and introduced a new architectural style to Ahmedabad.[3][4] It measures 51 feet (16 m) by 36 feet (11 m). The minarets stand 50 feet (15 m) high.[5] Alexander Forbes had replicas of the mosque made from wood and returned to England c 1880-1885, they now reside at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Visited Jan 2020. See attached pics. This might actually be the best looking masjid in Ahmedabad. It also has a very different design than the other masjids. Small and sort of intimate. Must visit. If you want pics it might be better to visit in the morning when the sun is to the east. Not much space around the masjid, so diff to take pics. It is also the only masjid with a AC - this spoils the look a bit on the inside.
One of the most oldest n beautiful mosque of Ahmadabad having minarates, and micro level stone work, across on the whole minarates this mosque get repaired in 1881 during British rule, British library having its old pictures which we can search on google, but unfortunately surrounding this mosque many illegally construction has been done which has hidden the mosque.
Built by the governor Muhafiz Khan in 1465, the best part of this mosque is that the minarets were not damaged on account of the earthquakes (due to its huge base unlike other mosques). Men are still allowed to go to the top of the minaret (after taking permission). Roads are quite narrow for 4-wheelers and it is recommended that you plan accordingly.
A local kind maulvi gave me tour of the interior of the mosque. It's one of very few mosques of Ahmedabad with intact minarets. Hardly anyone visits the place with historical approach. It's used for prayers and is active mosque. Its central mihrab contains an inscription of 1485 AD.
Loved the view form the top of miniret(photo attached) loved the birds chirping in the bushy Bengal clockwine...must visit and cover your nose if u don't eat non veg like me its smell is all over the place
