Rani Sipri's Mosque located in the old area of Ahmadabad is one of the ancient monuments that is known for its elegance. the construction of this medieval mosque was commissioned in 1514 by Queen Sipri the wife of Mahmud Begada herself.
It is also known as Masjid-e-Nagina (Jewel of a mosque) because of its elegant proportions and slender minarets.
This mosque even though small in size it impresses all with the intricate cravings on its walls. The artistic work in the mosque are a reflection of the beautiful craftsmanship of the bygone era.
The slender and ornate minarets of this magnificent mosque are the major attraction.
