Rani Rupamati Ki Masjid

Rani Rupmati Mosque is a good specimen of the provincial Indo-Islamic architecture that flowered during the reign of the Gujarat Sultans.

This mosque and tomb complex is dedicated to Rani Rupmati whom Sultan Mahmud Shah Begada married. The mosque is said to have been built by Sultan Mahmud Begada though some believe that it dates to the reign of Sultan Muzzafar Shah in the 1500s.

Rani Rupmati Mosque is located in the Mirzapur area of Ahmedabad, near the St. Xaviers School. The mosque has most of the features of the architecture of the Gujarat Sultanate like the high central arch, imposing domes connected by flat roofs, slim minarets, carved galleries and an exquisite marble mihrab.

The archway of the mosque’s façade has a rectangular frame, with lotus medallions in the corners. The smaller arches are flanked by a pair of jharokha balconies. Behind the entrances are the domes supported by pillars.

The façade of this mosque is plainer than that of some of the other monuments of the Sultanate period, and the richly carved buttresses on which the minarets once stood and cornices contrast with the austerity of the elevated central arch.

The domed mausoleum in the complex has two tombs.

Rani Rupmati's Tomb and Mosque built in 15th century is an artistic monument with heritage value located after St Xavier's school and before District Court premises in old Ahmedabad. Google takes you there.

Very well visible from main road is the structure as no prominent board is displayed. Who needs one as the monument speaks louder...

View the pictures attached to know the history and it's significance. Though not visited by most tourists it's a must visit place in Ahmedabad.

Unique is the three dome structure and supportive minarets and protruding balconies. Heavily sculpted they are eyes delight. You can easily spend half an hour observing and being in the majestic monument. Have a tour on the outer side external walls seeing the sculpted windows, balconies and protruding minarets.

The local community people are very supportive once they are informed you are a tourist and guide you if assistance is sought. Observe their rules and maintain decorum, your visit would be worthwhile.

Though a lot to pen down but a visit is more fruitful then reading reviews.

Enjoy.

Very good Archeological Construction built in Masjid

Rani Rupamati's Mosque, also known as Rani Rupavati's Mosque or Mirzapur Queen's Mosque, is a medieval mosque and tomb complex in Mirzapur area of Ahmedabad

Heavily and very beautifully hand crafted wall and pillers

A small mosque with great architechture.

I was passing by this mosque since years... it's on main road. But... before two months only I entered inside. This mosque is having a good architecture...Nice carvings on red stone. Cool place for history and monuments lovers. Definitely this mosque is among top places of heritage city.
However, you won't find any tourist here...

The mosque was built by Mahmud Begada probably in the latter years (1430-1440) of Ahmad Shah I's reign. It is named after Rani Rupamati whom Mahmud Begada married after death of Qutubuddin.

This mosque measures, 105 feet long, forty-six broad, and thirty-two high. A high central arch, three imposing domes, slim minarets, carved galleries and an exquisite mihrab are there. Its three domes are linked together by a flat roof. The side entrances in the mosque open out in balcony windows on either side and end in a lattice window.

Historical mosque build in the name of queen rupmati, a place for peace and religious ambiance.
Muslims pray namaz and is open to visit for all religions as religious places teaches love and peace...
Architecture students must visit as it will give them a variety because of its carvings and designs which is made in indo-persian style...

Nice big masjid

In Ahmedabad, Gujrat, India, in the heart of the town, is this 500 years old mosque, made in the name of a Hindu queen. Its quiet, majestic, and very impressive. Nearby is the grave of Rani Roopmati. Photography is allowed, the maulvis are very friendly. Once we show respect, they encourage and share insights. I walked bare feet inside as I would do in temple, even in the external open courtyard. Enjoy your visit with your families.

An auspicious pilgrim site of the Muslims was built by Mahmud Begada, the brother of Sultan Qutbuddin. Rani Rupmati was the wife Sultan Qutbuddin who was married to Mahmud Begada after the death of Sultan. Rani Rupmati was an intelligent and beautiful princess of Dhar also known as Rupmanjari.

Though a Hindu, Rani Rupmati was married to the Muslim king, which was a common feature those days. As such most of the monuments built during those times illustrated a perfect blend of Muslim and Hindu styles of architecture.

Mosque

An architectural masterpiece that is 105 feet long and 46 feet broad rises to a height of 32 feet. Attractions of the site include the intricately designed windows decorated with floral designs. The Minarets were partially damaged during the 1819 Rann of Kutch earthquake.

The small entrances on the sides of the mosque have projected balcony window on its sides and a latticed window at the end. One of the distinct features of the mosque is the latticed windows and well decorated ceiling of the domes. Exquisitely carved prayer hall is another attraction of the sacred building.

Its three domes are linked together by a flat roof. The side entrances in the mosque open out in balcony windows on either side and end in a lattice window. The domes are supported with rows of twelve pillars each where as the smaller domes at the front and the rear of the bigger domes as well as the four corners of the mosque are there. The central section is an elevated level that rises above the small flanks and provides for a pierced clerestory, which carries the dome above. Though broken short in the 1819 Rann of Kutch earthquake, the bases of their minarets, from the fine tracery in their niches, are still the mosque's chief beauty. This is one of the buildings where the attempt to combine the arched Islamic and the flat Hindu styles was hardly a success; the plainness of the central arch clashes with the extreme richness of the upper cornice and the side minarets. Close by the mosque is a monument, with a large central and two side domes, raised over the tombs of Rani Rupamati and the other queen. The inside of the dome is richly fretted.

Rani Rupvati Masjid is the 16th century monument of the Ahmedabad city. This mosque is built with the yellow sandstone, which is the mkst common material in the entire Gujrat state for making the giant structures.

Hauz e Wazu, Pillars, Tombs, Mehrab are very beautiful and worth to see. It hase some Hindu motifs in the stone carving, which indicates the influence of Hi du motifs in the making of Mosques. So, a place which is Indo-Islamic architecture.

Rani Rupvati was the queen of Qutubuddin Ahmedabad Shah, 3rd King od Ahmedabad. When he died, she married again to his brother in law, i.e.Sultan Mehmud Shah Begada, 4th King of Ahmedabad.
