The Sidi Saiyyed Masjid, The most reputed Heritage marvel of Ahmedbad city, built in 1572-73 AD, is one of the most famous Masjids (Islamic place of Worship) in Gujarat, India. It was built by Sidi Saiyyid in the retinue of Bilal Jhajar Khan, general in the army of the last Sultan Shams-ud-Din Muzaffar Shah III of the Gujarat Sultanate. The mosque was built in the last year of the existence of Gujarat Sultanate. The mosque is entirely arcuated and is famous for beautifully carved ten stone latticework windows (jalis) on the side and rear arches. The rear wall is filled with square stone pierced panels in geometrical designs. The two bays flanking the central aisle have reticulated stone slabs carved in designs of intertwined trees and foliage and a palm motif. This intricately carved lattice stone window is the Sidi Saiyyed Jali, the unofficial symbol of city of Ahmedabad and the inspiration for the design of the logo of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

It is bang in the center of the main traffic junction in the heart of Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Gujarat, a western state of India. Cars, buses, autos, two wheeler all moved around a building that looked quite ancient and was dotted with trees. It looked like a mosque from whatever portion was visible from the road. Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, famously referred to in common parlance as Sidi Saiyyed Ni Jaali or Sidi Saiyyid ki Jaali. Science and technology has advanced so much and we are creating startling architectural marvels round the world but when we take a deeper look at the historical architectures, we realise the depth of human intelligence put into it, without much of machine technology. The mosque itself was quite spartan built in the style of architecture which most mosques in the country adhere to. The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque architecture is executed in an Indo-Saracenic style which combines elements of Indo-Islamic and Indian architecture. The famous Jali work of the screen in the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque is the source of attraction and the lodestone that drew people to its fold were the Jaalis ( also known as Sidi Saiyad Ni Jali ) or intricate lattice work of the windows of the mosque. Ten windows with intricate lattice work adorn the sides and the rear of the mosque. The most exquisitely carved window is known as the “Tree of Life”, and is a joy to behold, a resplendent ode to the artistic genius of its makers.

Bai Harir Sultani Stepwell is situated in the area of Asarva, A beautiful iconic step-well was built in december 1499. It was during the reign of Mahmud Shah that Bai Harir Sultani, Hazrat Bai Harir Sultani was a very religious, influential woman. She was the superintendent of the royal harem at Abul Fatah Nasredin Mahmud Shah (King Mehmood Begada). She had established this incredible heritage not from the royal treasury but from the capital deposited from her salary, locally known as Dhai Harir, The name later corrupted into Dada Hari ni vav. Creating this invaluable heritage cost 34,0000 at the time,Which currently has an estimated value of over Rs 3000 crore, Built in sandstone in indo - islamic architectural style, the Bai Harir Sultani Stepwell is five stories deep. It is octagonal (8-sided polygon) in plan at the top, built on intricately carved large number of pillars. Each floor is spacious enough to provide for people to congregate.

The Dada Harir Vav is a stepwell located about 15km to the north of Ahmedabad. Like most stepwells, the Dada Harir Vav has steps descending to the water level. The main difference is that Dada Harir Vav has 5 storeys high and partially built with solid floors on each level around the octagonal shaft and reachable either via the steps of the well or a winding staircase. Sadly, the latter is occupied by bats and I dared not climb it. Each storey is supported by intricately carved columns in a traditional trabeat formation. Without a doubt one of the best things to see in Ahmedabad. In my opinion, if you see Dada Harir Vav, there’s no need to go to see the Adalaj Stepwell, which is much further away.

This place is predominantly for the shopaholics. You can get everything from shoes to clothes under one roof. Very congested.
