The Sufi mystic, Ahmed Khattu “Ganj Baksh” (bestower of wealth) is venerated as a saint even today. Therefore, his commemorative tomb, which is also known as dargah in the local

language is of symbolic as well as spiritual value. One of the largest of its kind in Gujarat, one of its sides measures up to 105 ft. Roofed by a large central dome, it is surrounded by rows of 13 domes on each side. The central square, on which the dome stands has double pillars. The fifth aisle from any corner is narrower than the others. The walls are panelled with trellised windows of perforated stone works in a variety of designs.
