named, beautiful in detail. The Jumma Musjid is 
one of the finest of its dass in India, but the archi- 
tectural pride of Beejapore are its Tombs of its last 
three kings. That of Ali Adil Shah (22/) left un- 
finished 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 archi- 
tecture 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 arehi- 
tectural 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.
