Haibat Khan's Mosque is a mosque in Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat, India. The structure is a Monument of National Importance.[1]
History
[edit]The mosque is located to south-west of Dastur Khan's Mosque near the Jamalpur gate. It was built by Haibat Khan (also known as Masti Khan), one of Ahmed Shah I's nobles and paternal uncle, almost entirely of Hindu-Jain temple material.
Architecture
[edit]Though of little beauty, the mosque is one of the earliest attempts to combine Indo-Islamic and Hindu temple elements of architecture. The front wall is plain, pierced by three small pointed arches; the minarets, small and without ornament, rise from the roof; and, with a dwarfed and unlighted clerestory, the centre is barely raised above the side domes. Inside, in the centre, is a dome with beautiful carvings that was once part of a temple mandapa, and pillars taken from different Hindu temples with variety of rich ornament.[2][3][4][5][6]
