Qutbuddin Mosque
Located in the old city of Ahmedabad, this mosque was built in 1449. While only a portion of the original structure remains today, it serves as a historical record of the evolution of Indo-Islamic architecture in the region during the 15th century.
Getting There
The mosque is situated within the dense network of Ahmedabad's old city. From the city centre, it is most accessible via auto-rickshaw. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
