Rani Sipri's Mosque (), also known locally as Masjid-e-nagina, and formerly known as Rani Asni's Mosque, is a mosque in the walled city of Ahmedabad, in the state of Gujarat in India. The structure is a Monument of National Importance.
The mosque was commissioned in 1514 by Queen Sipri, the Hindu wife of Mahmud Begada, a sultan who ruled Gujarat. It is also known as Masjid-e-Nagina (Jewel of a Mosque) because of the intricate jali carvings on its walls. In 2006âÂÂ7, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation proposed demolishing part of the monument in order to expand a road.
The mosque is named after the Hindu queen of Sultan Mahmud Begada, Rani SabrÃÂi or Sipri. She was also the mother of AbÃÂ KhÃÂn. The queen commissioned this mosque in 1514. After her death, the queen was buried in this mosque. Inside, there is also a jenana, a separate area for women to worship.
The jali screen work that includes flowering plants and trees is the prime attraction of this monument. Similar intricate jali work can be seen in other Indo-Islamic architectural monuments in the city like Siddi Sayyed Jali and Sarkhej Roza.
