Jama Masjid - Jami Masjid - Juma Masjid | Ahmedabad | Heritage Place | Jimmy Vaidya

#Jamamasjid also known as Jumah Mosque, is a mosque in Ahmedabad, India built in 1424 during the reign of Ahmad Shah I. Built with yellow sandstone, the mosque complex is centered on a large rectangular courtyard 75 m long and 66 m wide. One enters the court by three entrances, one at the center of each side. The courtyard is lined with a colonnade on three sides, the prayer hall occupies the fourth (east) side. In the center of the courtyard is a rectangular basin for ablutions. The prayer room is also rectangular and covered by fifteen domes. In its Indo-Saracenic architecture, the mosque also contains many syncretic elements not necessarily obvious to the viewer: some of the central domes are carved like lotus flowers. The wide-open courtyard, floored with white marble, is ringed by a colonnade painted with giant Arabic calligraphy, and has a tank for ritual ablutions in the center. Their lower portions still stand. The main prayer hall has over 260 columns supporting the roof, with its 15 domes. The main entrance is framed by two columns, the remains of two minarets (the 'shaking minarets') which were destroyed by the earthquakes of 1819 and 1956. #Heritageplace #Ahmedabad Located: Manek Chowk, Gandhi Rd, Danapidth, Nr.
