One of the most admirable monuments in India, the mosque of
Sidi Sayed is loacted near Lal Darwaja. The mosque is world renowned
because of its splendid Jhalli or mesh which is a finest example of
Indo-Saracenic architecture.
The mesh is framed inside ten semi circular windows. The filigree
has been carved out of just one rock. The tracery of the mesh or
jali is the completely bewitching and will make you have a
mesmerizing experience in Ahmedabad.
A visit to this exceptionally carved monument is a must. Some of the
local sellers keep miniatures models of this Jali which can be
purchased as a remembrance of this delicately carved window.
