The Ratan Bai Masjid, situated in the bustling city of Jamnagar, in the Indian state of Gujarat, stands as a symbol of architectural beauty and cultural heritage.

The mosque is renowned for its intricate carvings, finely crafted domes, and the harmonious blend of Islamic and European styles of architecture, which reflect the cosmopolitan ethos of the Bohras. It features elements like the large central dome, minarets, and stained-glass windows that add to its majestic appearance. The structure is predominantly made of yellow sandstone, native to the region, which glows warmly during sunrise and sunset, creating a serene atmosphere.
