Things to do
Sidi Saiyad Mosque
Across the street from the gate of the House of MG stands the Sidi Saiyad Mosque that was built around 1572. This mosque was a part of the city wall of Ahmedabad. It is named after Sidi Saiyed - one Ahmed Shah`s slaves.
This mosque is well known the world over for its magnificent jalis or filligree carved in stone. This tracery of trees and palms and flowers, carved in a single slab of stone each are a wonder to behold.
The delicate and neat carved out lines are evenly spread all over the jali to form a pattern covering the entire surface. In spite of being surrounded by traffic and pollution, this historical monument has lost nothing in terms of beauty and intricate craftsmanship.
To miss it would be unfortunate especially since one would be just across the street, given the fact that many tourists come specially to see it.
