Description
English: Sidi Saiyyed mosque/ Sidi Saiyyed ni jali was built in 1573, the last year of the Gujarat Sultanate before the Mughals invaded, the mosque is one of the finest specimens of the prodigious architectural accomplishments of the Sidis in India. Sidi Saiyyed, or “Sidi Saeed” as an inscription in the mosque refers to him, was a royal slave in the service of Sultan Mahmud III, the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate. Upon the sultan’s death, he joined the retinue of the Abyssinian general Bilal Jhajhar Khan. By the time he retired from service, Sidi Saiyyed had amassed a considerable fortune, which he used to build his beautiful mosque, as well as for acts of philanthropic charity, such as feeding the poor daily in his public kitchen.
