Badshah no Haziro Ahmed Shah’s Tomb, locally known as Badshah no Hajiro or Raja no Hajiro, is a medieval mosque and the group of tombs in Ahmedabad, India. Ahmed Shah’s mosque is situated close to Jama Mosque and Manek Chowk. Burial places assume special religious significance amid Muslims and some of their burial places are today among the hotspot tourist destinations in the country largely due to their exotic locations and exquisite architecture. At Badshah no Hajiro, which was buit in the year 1446, rest the mortal remains of the founder of Ahmedabad, Ahmed Shah I. The place is located to the western side of Manek Chowk, just outside the eastern gate of Jama Masjid. The place’s architecture is in the shape of a square, which has porticos around it. The windows are perforated and the carvings on them are breathtaking. The cenotaphs of Ahmed Shah’s son Muhammad Shah and grandson Qutbuddin Ahmed Shah III are also located at this place. Outside, located closeby is the Rani-no-Hajiro which houses the tombs of queens of sultans after Ahmed Shah. This is where the male members of the royal family were buried. Women are not allowed to enter, and men must wear something to cover their heads before entering. There are also a few ministers’ tombs laid out across the road. It lies to the west of Manek Chowk.

This building is a mosque and Tomb of Ahmed Shah of the Muzaffarid dynasty, who founded the city of Ahmedabad. The building is still a functioning mosque and seems to have a group of families who act as caretakers of the building. The mosque is located in a square with the mosque in the centre.. The mosque is roughly square shaped, with a smaller chamber jutting out from each of the four sides and is topped with large dome. The sides of the building are wonderful decorated with latticeworks and it’s just a pity that time and all the surrounding people, goats etc has done considerable damage to the exterior of the building. The inside has three tombs, the central one housing the tomb of Ahmed Shah, and the tombs of his son and grandson to the left and right. The inside is also very well maintained and in much clearly well cared for by the caretakers, so kudos for that. It’s definitely worth visiting the tomb when in Ahmedabad, especially as it’s right next to Jama Masjid, that was built on the orders of Ahmed Shah.

Known locally as Badshah no hajiro. Inside you have three tombs and one of them belongs to King Ahmed Shah who founded the city of Ahmedabad. Its a beautifully carved structure just opposite of Jama Masjid. And inside near the tomb you will feel peace and calmness.

It's good from inside but it's encroached from outside. Local people are kind and cooperative. Surrounding area is not clean and it's impossible to properly photograph the tomb from outside. This tomb is in better shape than Rani's Hazira.

The tomb of Ahmed shah after whom the city of Ahmedabad was named. It is in ruins, poor maintenance with dirt,filth and rubbish everywhere. It's a pity these monuments are maintained in such a manner.
