It is undoubtedly the most gorgeous mosque in Ahmedabad as it is adorned with elaborate latticework on its windows. Built between 1572-73, the lace filigree work and ornate floral designs on the whole structure of the mosque makes it a true ecstasy for history lovers and photographers. Head to Sabarmati Ashram where Mahatma Gandhi - Father of the Nation - stayed here along with his consort Kasturba Gandhi, for about 12 years. It is now a museum known as the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya exhibiting a huge number of collection of oil paintings and life-size photographs depicting various events of Mahatma Gandhis life.
