Famed globally for its exquisite stone lattice work or jalis, the mosque is not just an architectural marvel, but also the symbolic icon of Ahmedabad city.
The mosque is evidence of historical fruition of Gujarat's multiculturalism, a testimony to Hindu and Muslim cultures coming together in the past to create structures of ever-lasting beauty and significance. The famed 'tree of life' lattice window is not just omnipresent in tourism publicity material, but also provided inspiration for the logo of the National Institute of Design. The 'tree' fuses Hindu and Islamic spiritualism by the depicting the Kalpavruksh, the Hindu element, while the date palm is symbolic of Muslim heritage and its vibrant cultural stamp on contemporary Ahmedabad and several other parts of Gujarat.
