Rani Rupmati Mosque

Being one of the few mosques that are named after a Hindu queen, the Rani Rupmati Mosque, Mirzapur, Ahmedabad is a legendary story in itself. Situated towards the Northern side of Ahmedabad city, this mosque was made by Sultan Mehmud Beghara in 1430-1440 A.D.

Often described as the Masjid-e-Nagira or 'Jewel of a Mosque', this holy place is immensely lauded for its graceful pattern and well executed design. This place of worship also acts as a shapely interlude between Achut Kuki's and Rani Sipri's mosque. Rani Rupmati mosque consists of three domes that are supported well by lofty pillars. The central dome is created and constructed in a way that it illuminates the entire mosque with gleaming natural light. The tomb of Rani Rupmati lies next to the mosque and acts as a reminiscent of the ancient royal world and a time gone by.
