named,  beautiful  in  detail.  The  Jumma  Musjid  is
one  of  the  finest  of  its  dass  in  India,  but  the  architectural
  pride  of  Beejapore  are  its  Tombs  of  its  last
three  kings.  That  of  Ali  Adil  Shah  (22/)  left  unfinished
  in  1579;  while  the  Ibrahim  Royah,—1579
to  1626,—is  more  extensively  and  more  elaborately
ornamented  than  any  other  tomb  in  India;  and
the  tomb  of  Muhammad  is  remarkable  as  being
practically  the  largest  and  holdest  specimen  of  dome
construction  in  the  world.

Ahmedabad  was  the  Capital  of  a  Mahomedan
dynasty  for  187  years  (1396  to  1483),  and  like
Juanpore  and  Beejapore,  had  a  style  of  architecture
  of  its  own.  In  this  instance  even  more
resembling  that  of  the  Hindus  than  the  style  of
Juanpore.  It  was  situated  in  Guzerat—a  country
long  before,  as  well  as  now,  remarkable  for  the  arehitectural
  taste  of  its  inhabitants;—and  the  Ahmed
Shahi  dynasty,  though  Mahomedan  in  religion,  were
Hindoos  in  blood  and  intermarried  freely  with  the
natives  of  the  country.  Hence  the  peculiarly  rieh
and  elaborate  style  of  their  architecture.
The  public  buildings  of  Ahmedabad  are  smaller
in  scale  than  those  of  the  other  Mahomedan  capitals
of  India,  but  they  make  up  for  this  by  their  number
and  variety  and  the  exquisite  beauty  of  their  details.

As  a  rule  they  are  so  similar  in  detail  that  it  is  at
first  sight  difflcult  to  detect  their  sequenee,  but  there
is  a  uniformity  of  excellence  throughout  that  is  very
remarkable.  The  typical  specimens  of  detail  are,
perhaps,  the  two  pierced  Windows  of  the  Bbudder
(238),  which  in  their  dass  are  unsurpassed  ;  though
few  mosques  are  devoid  of  smaller  bits  of  equal
beauty.
