Illustration of the north and south minarets 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. In the early 19th century these
minarets were partially taken down by the government's Public Works
Department as they were believed to be unstable
structures.
