Illustration of windows from the Queen's mosque
at Sarangpur near Ahmadabad in Gujarat. The Queen's mosque, also
known as the Malik Sarang mosque or Rani Mosque was built c.1530 by
Malik Quivam ul Mulk, the governor of Ahmadabad in the 1520s and a
nobleman at the court of Sultan Muzaffar Shah (r.1511-26). The
mosque has five large domes and a series of arched entrances along
the facade. The larger central entrance is flanked by two robust
minarets, now truncated at roof level. The bases of the minarets
are covered in elaborate carving in the niches and across a series
of horizontal bands. The windows at the Queen's mosque are also
highly decorative. Along the front wall there are four perforated
windows, each divided into twelve squares filled with a variety of
patterns symmetrically arranged. Along the back wall, there are six
more windows of similar design. This illustration shows the windows
from the north corner.
