Sidi Saiyad’s Mosque - Ahmedabad..........

Sidi Saiyad’s Mosque is famous for its 10 unique semi-circular tracery windows. The tracery resembles the famous silver filigree work for which Gujarat is so famous. They adorn the upper zones of the side and back walls. The two western windows with exquisite naturalistic patterns are without parallel anywhere in India. The remaining eight windows have jail workmanship of square grid pattern. The mosque was built in 1572-73 CE by Saikh Said commonly spelt as Sayyaid, who was noted noble of the time of Sultan Muzaffar Shah III.
