Ahmedabad
Just outside one of the entrances to the Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) is the tomb of the ruler who commissioned it, Ahmed Shah I; he reigned from 1411 to 1442 and was the founder of the city of Ahmedabad. The tomb was built by Ahmed's son and successor, Muhammad Shah, who is also buried there, as are other members of the dynasty. The building is notable for its exquisite lattice work stone screens (called 'jaalis'). As can be seen from this photograph, it is also a popular goat diner!
