The Queen's Mosque at Sarungpoor [Malik Sarang's Mosque, Sarangpur, Ahmadabad]. Photographer: Biggs, Thomas
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Close view from the south-east, showing the central arch and flanking minarets of the mosque, known variously as the Rani Masjid or Queen's Mosque and Malik Sarang's Mosque. In this photograph the south minaret has been taken down to the level of the roofline, while the north minaret still stands. According to James Burgess, The Muhammadan Architecture of Ahmadabad (part II, Archaeological Survey of Western India, vol. VIII, London, 1905, pp.28-29), the southern tower was dismantled in about 1865; the northern one was later taken down by the Public Works Department on safety grounds in about 1880.
Subjects = Hope and Fergusson, 'Architecture at Ahmedabad' (1866); Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Islamic); mosques
