Achut Bibi's Masjid Ahmedabad Gujarat, Heritage Stone Masjid, Shahi Pattharwali Masjid.

Achut bibi's Mosque was also known as Shahi Masjid locally, is a medieval mosque and tomb complex on the bank of Sabarmati river in Dudheshwar,  Ahmedabad. Achut [Achhut] Bibi's mosque was built in 1469 by Haji Malik Bahauddin, entitled Imad ul-Mulk, one of Mahmud Begadha (1458-1511) ministers, for his wife Bibi Achut Kuki whose tomb is close by. Very little is known about Bibi Achut Kuki. Possibly she was an important member of royal harem. Measuring about 28.34 meters by 10.97 meters inside, with three arched entrances and two very ornate minars at the flanks of the central entrance, its central section is one storey higher than the lateral ones.  Arches support the ends of the gallery in the front aisle – a device very unusual in Indo-Islamic architecture of Gujarat.  The interior of the central dome and the mihrabs are covered with the usual elegance.  The floor of the central area of the mosque 11.58 meters in length is in marble.  The mimbar has a passage under it, as is common in the second half of the fifteenth century AD mosques of Gujarat, and a small canopy on the upper platform – the latter particularly being one of the most exquisite specimens of its kind extant in Ahmadabad.  The four windows on the back wall help indirect lighting of the interior. The mosque and tomb are enclosed in stone walls. The entrance has two arches and two minarets with Indo-Islamic Architecture Its large enclosure was once adorned by seven minarets, three at the outer and two at the inner entrance, and two on the mosque itself. Except the lower parts of the mosque minarets, all seven were thrown down and destroyed in the 1819 Rann of Kutch earthquake. The tomb complex of Bibi Achut Kuki is located on the south end of the mosque. It is an open canopy with thirty two pillars and eight domes under which several unmarked tombs are located. The exact tomb of Bibi is not identifiable as flagstones are missing.The tomb and mosque was again damaged in 2001 Gujarat earthquake and was restored by Archaeological survey of india. The structures are also threatened by encroachments. Contact to :--- +919904500760 Mail id :-- [email protected]
