Tomb of Ahmed Shah (raja ka Hajira)
This is the tomb of Sultan Ahmed Shah I(1411 - 1442), the founder of Ahmedabad.
The tomb of Ahmed Shah, with its perforated stone windows, stands just outside the east gate of the Jama Masjid. His son and grandson, who did not long survive him, also have their cenotaphs in this tomb. Women are not allowed into the central chamber. Across the street on a raised platform is the tomb of his queens - it's now really a market and in very poor shape compared to Ahmed Shah's tomb
