Sarkhej Roza
સરખેજ રોજા
A 15th-century complex of a Sufi saint's tomb, mosque, palace and large stepwell, which Le Corbusier called “the acropolis of Ahmedabad.”
Sarkhej Roza grew up around the tomb of the Sufi saint Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh. Later, Sultan Mahmud Begada added a mosque, a palace and royal tombs, all arranged around a huge stepped tank. The stone lattice screens and archless colonnades reflect the native Gujarati style. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the site suits a leisurely half-day visit. Admission is free. It lies about 8 km southwest of the city center and must be reached by taxi.
