See review for the Jami Masjid

15th Century mosque..Indo-islamic architecture
The masjid is part of the Champaner unesco site..the less popular attraction as compared to Nagina,Kevda and Jami masjid.
Similar to others, the intricate carvings along the arches & minarets display..

another mosque
It is just another mosque on way to kevada masjid and nagina masjid. There are many mosque inside the archaeological park with fine carving in stone. This is ruined structure you can avoid if you want..

Pretty simple in design
Located slightly away from Champaner main attractions. If from Jami Masjid to turn not left in the direction of Kevda and Nagina Masjid, but to the right, then after some time you will see this mosque..

Nothing great
On the way to Pavagadh. It is the site which can be seen in around 15 to 20 minutes. Like other religious Muslim places.
