Haibat Khan's Mosque is amosque inAhmedabad, in the state ofGujarat,India. The structure is aMonument of National Importance.[1]
The mosque is located to south-west ofDastur Khan's Mosque near the Jamalpur gate. It was built by Haibat Khan (also known as Masti Khan), one ofAhmed Shah I's nobles and paternal uncle, almost entirely of Hindu-Jain temple material.
Though of little beauty, the mosque is one of the earliest attempts to combineIndo-Islamic andHindu temple elements of architecture. The front wall is plain, pierced by three small pointed arches; theminarets, small and without ornament, rise from the roof; and, with a dwarfed and unlightedclerestory, the centre is barely raised above the side domes. Inside, in the centre, is a dome with beautiful carvings that was once part of a templemandapa, and pillars taken from different Hindu temples with variety of rich ornament.[2][3][4][5][6]
