A Queen's Legacy ​Rani Sipri Ki Masjid, also known as Rani Sipri's Mosque or Masjid-e-Nagina (Jewel of a Mosque), is a stunning monument in Ahmedabad. It was built in 1514 by Rani Sipri, the wife of Sultan Mahmud Begada. The mosque is celebrated for its delicate architecture and fine craftsmanship, earning its title as a jewel of Ahmedabad. ​ ​The mosque's architecture is a testament to its royal patronage and is often described as a reflection of "feminine grace." Its intricate carvings and details are a departure from the more robust styles of other contemporary structures. The two slender and beautifully carved minarets rise gracefully, complementing the overall delicate design. ​ ​The monument's interior is a marvel of artistic expression. It features a majestic prayer hall with multiple arches that open into the courtyard. The balconied windows are adorned with delicate screens and carvings, and the mihrab is a masterpiece of floral and geometric patterns. The attention to detail extends to every surface, from the columns to the ceiling. ​ ​The mosque complex includes a serene courtyard and a large ablution tank, which adds to its peaceful ambiance. The tank, or hauz, is a beautiful feature of the complex, designed for ritual purification before prayers. Rani Sipri's tomb is also located here, making the mosque a deeply personal and meaningful testament to her piety and artistic patronage.

Beautiful mosque that’s right next to the street. Amazing carvings and this mosque is less visited. Built in 1514 AD by Rani Sabrai, widow of Sultanmahmud Shah I Begada.

A beautiful mosque, and unique in its style of carvings Islamic history is filled with gifted architects and Rani Sipri’s Mosque in Ahmedabad is proof of this cherished and beautiful architectural tradition. Your visit may not last more than an hour but the architecture of those days will certainly impress you. Badly painted signs and un-maintained surroundings have taken some of its charms though. It is situated along a busy road of the city and still inside its so quiet and peaceful. The periphery walls were broken during the 'development' of the city, but still, it has managed to keep its character largely unchanged, despite the development! Despite being quite in the center of the city, not many, tourists or locals visit this.

Masjid is in old Ahmedabad and is a small one. It has good carvings and is a mix of Hindu and Islamic architecture. It isn't in prime condition and doesn't have much to offer as a tourist destination. Visit if old architecture interests you.

Amazing art work on pillars unbelievable. If watched carefully many Hindu religion related carving done on these pillars as well

Visited Dec 2018. See attached pics. Nice masjid and maqbara. This is the correct location. There is another location pinned to Google maps which is wrong. Morning better for photography.
