It comprises of 52 small shrines within its complex. This temple is named after Hathee Singh (a rich merchant who built this temple) and devoted to Dharmnath (15th Jain Tirthankara). The stambhs (towers) in the outer courtyard of this temple are major attractions here.
Next, visit the Siddi Saiyyeds Mosque - an epitome of Indo-Islamic architecture. 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.

    It was a terrible, I will not suggest anyone. One single person roam whole team walking lots here and there, if you want to stay back at Bus, bus operator says no AC on, only during bus travel AC on. Else close bus no use to sit back. Absolutely not recommended, small kids with parents do not think to travel. Thank you.
