Sarkhej Roza: Ahmedabad’s Serene Architectural Marvel

Sarkhej Roza is a wonderfull place for peace. Please when you come Ahmedabad must visit Sarkhej Roza.

Sarkhej Roza is a mosque located in the village of Makraba, 7 km south-west of Ahmedabad in Gujarat state, India. The mosque is known as “Ahmedabad’s Acropolis”, due to 20th century architect Le Corbusier’s famous comparison of this mosque’s design to the Acropolis of Athens.

Although there are many rozas across Gujarat, the Sarkhej Roza is the most revered. Sarkhej was once a prominent centre of Sufi culture in the country, where influential Sufi saint Ganj Baksh lived. It was on the saint’s suggestion that Sultan Ahmed Shah set up his capital on the banks of the Sabarmati, a few miles away from Sarkhej.

Address: Makarba, Post Jeevraj Park, Ahmedabad – 380051.
