%20-%20Tripadvisor.jpg)
The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is a sublime ode in stone to the extraordinary architectural legacy of the African Diaspora in India. Although their Forefathers were originally brought to India as slaves and maritime laborers, the descendants of these Africans rose to positions of positions of power as military commanders in the armies of the sultans and became great patrons of art and architecture. Situated in the heart of the 600 year old walled city of Ahmedabad, the design of the mosque is entirely in the arcuate system of construction, involving arches , domes, Squinches and vaults.
