Synopsis
This volume is dedicated to the monuments and buildings of Ahmadabad, the premier city of Gujarat. With its many mosques and tombs dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, Ahmadabad preserves some of the finest Indian Islamic buildings, though these are still little known outside the region. The step-well, unique to Gujarat, is another feature of Ahmadabad's architecture. Hindu and Jain temples throughout the city are built in a wide range of styles. Wooden houses with intricately carved wood-work testify to a vital vernacular expression. These diverse architectural traditions form the subject of separate chapters, each illustrated with photographs, plans and sections.
