Sarkhej Roza is an architectural complex housing a mosque, tombs, large tank and palace. The complex is located around 8 KM from the city. Ahmed shah the founder of the city built the mausoleum and the mosque in honor of a sufi saint Shaikh ahmed khatu ganj baksh. The saint moved to Sarkhej during his later years and live here till his death in 1445. The tank, event place and another mausoleum was later added by the ruler Sultan Mahmad Begada. The mausoleum opposite of that saint contains the tombs of the king, his queen Rajabai and his son Muzaffar II. Like many monuments this complex was a fusion of Islamic and Hindu architecture styles. The Jama Masjid located next to the saints tomb is a big complex with prayer hall. The hall has a loft like structure of the side for royal women to offer prayers. The long corridors connect to the prayer hall and there is balcony overlooking the tank on one side.
The monument is located outside the city and little away from other major attractions. The place is more of a religious place and doesn't attract much visitors. Hire an auto rickshaw from the city to reach the place. There is an auto stand outside and can easily get back to the city.
Few pics from the place.
The lesser known attraction can be visited if one has ample time.
