The Jaliwali Masjid, commonly known as the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, is a historic mosque in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Built in 1572 by Sidi Saiyyed, an Abyssinian saint in the retinue of Bilal Jhajar Khan, it is one of the last structures from the Sultanate of Gujarat. The mosque is renowned for its intricate jali windows, especially the famous "Tree of Life" motif, which is a symbol of Ahmedabad and inspired the logo of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.
The mosque features ten stone lattice windows, with two central bays showcasing designs of intertwined trees and foliage.
The exquisite craftsmanship of these jalis makes the mosque a significant example of Indo-Islamic architecture
Located opposite Electricity House in the Lal Darwaja area, the mosque remains a functional place of worship and a popular tourist attraction, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Ahmedabad
