Illustration of the pulpit (side elevation) from
the Mosque of Muhafiz Khan at Ahmadabad, near Gujarat from James
Burgess' 'Original Drawings [of] Muhammadan Architecture of
Ahmadabad.' This small mosque was built in 1465 by Jamail-ud-Din
Muhafiz Khan who was a nobleman at the court of Sultan Mahmud
Begada (r.1459-1511) and appointed chief magistrate of Ahmadabad in
1471. The arrangement of the minarets on the façade of the Muhafiz
Khan mosque is similar to the Isanpur mosque, as they were
positioned at the extreme ends of the building, a new architectural
style in Ahmadabad in the fifteenth century. Key decorative
features include perforated windows, carved marble rosettes in the
back wall, and a carved marble pulpit in the centre of the
mosque.
