The Jama Masjid (literally Friday Mosque), also known as Jumah Mosque or Jami' Masjid, is a Friday mosque located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It was built in 1424 during the reign of Ahmad Shah I. The inscription on the central mihrab commemorates the inauguration of the mosque in 827 AH (1423/1424 CE), on the 1st Sarar, or January 4, by Sultan Ahmad Shah I. The mosque lies in the old walled city, and it is situated outside Bhadra Fort area. The old walled city is divided into separate quarters or pols, and the Jami' Masjid is found on the Gandhi Road. Along the south side of the road, the mosque is a short distance beyond the Teen Darwaza or Tripolia Gate. The structure is a Monument of National Importance. The Jama Masjid was the fifth mosque structure built during Ahmed Shah I's reign. Earlier mosques had either been modest in size or intended for private use. The Jama Masjid differed significantly from its predecessors in that it was a large, grandiose structure. The mosque complex has a large paved courtyard that can be entered from three different directions. The courtyard has an ablution tank in the middle. The prayer hall is located on the west side of the building.
