   Sabarmati Ashram

   Gandhi's base from 1917 to 1930, on the river outside the city. The Salt March set out from here on 12 March 1930 and he vowed not to come back until India was free, which he never did. His room is kept as it was, with the spinning wheel and the writing desk.

   Sidi Saiyyed Mosque

   A mosque of 1573, the last year of the Gujarat sultanate, whose side windows are filled with stone screens cut as a tree of life. That single lattice has become the emblem of Ahmedabad and of its management institute.

   Sidi Bashir Mosque

   The surviving fragment of an old Sufi mosque in Ahmedabad. Only the central gateway and two minarets remain; they shake, which is why they are called the Jhulta Minar, the swaying minarets, and the site is a monument of national importance.

   Jama Masjid, Ahmedabad

   Ahmad Shah's Friday mosque of 1424, built of yellow sandstone with two hundred and sixty columns holding fifteen domes. Much of the material came from Hindu and Jain temples pulled down for the purpose, and the carving on the columns shows it plainly.
