The best preserved mosque in Ahmadābād, and one of the prettiest buildings in the city, is that built by Mahāfīz Khān at the close of the fifteenth century. The minarets are adorned with panels of rich floral tracery undercut to such an extent that it is almost detached from the masonry. The architecture still largely retains a Hindu character (Plate XCIV).
