Danish Kirkire Qadri Razvi 56 months ago

Sarkhej Roza comprises one of the most elegant and unique architectural complexes of Ahmedabad. In its architecture, Sarkhej Roza is an example of the early Islamic architectural culture of the region, which fused Islamic stylistic influences from Persia.

It became associated with the name of Shaikh Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh, a Sufi saint and a friend/advisor to Sultan Ahmed Shah, who in his later years retired to the quiet environment of Sarkhej, away from the city. The saint lived till he was 111 years of age and was greatly venerated during his lifetime.

The Sarkhej Roza complex is the finest flowering of the medieval Gujarati architecture known as the Sultanate architecture. Geometrical beauty drips from the sandstone walls of these structures. Its calmness facilitates dialogue between the sky, water and light. This is also a meditation on the meaning of life; this meditation is reflected in the very size, proportions, and colour of the stone used to make these buildings.
