Under the patronage of Sultans, an elegant style of architecture developed at Ahmadabad. The mosque of Sidi Sayyid and the Jama Masjid are decorated with stone lattices, with foliate and geometric designs. These are the works of stone-cutters whose ancestors decorated Jain temples. Ahmadabad became a centre for the manufacture of textiles and wood-carving. Some of the old houses of merchants at Ahmadabad have beautifully carved doors and windows.
