Rani Roopmati Masjid, with its exquisite details and the grand
Shah Alam complex are a living tribute to the reign of Muhmad
Shah Begra of the 15th century. The Queen's Mosque in Mirzapur,
built between 1430 and 1440, is more representative of the pattern
of mosque building in 15th century Ahmedabad. Three domes stand
on 12 pillars each, with the central part so raised as to let
in natural light without direct sunlight.
Siddi Bashir Mosque:
Known as Shaking Minaret or Jhulta Minar. When one minarets is shaken the other one begins to vibrate. The mosque was obviously built by master craftsmen and the crucial mechanism that causes the vibration is still a mystery.
