Gujarat is a state in western India, home to a sizeable Muslim community. The first mosques in Gujarat date back to the medieval period, with the Jami Masjid at Khambat having been built in 1325. The Gujarat Sultanate ruled over what is now modern Gujarat during the 15th and 16th centuries. A distinctive style of Indo-Islamic architecture developed during this period.
Several mosques are part of the World Heritage Sites of Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park and Historic City of Ahmadabad.[1][2]
