Ahmedabad, founded in 1411 by Sultan Ahmad Shah on the eastern banks of the Sabarmati, grew larger and wealthier until dynastic decay and anarchy caused a decline and its capture by
Akbar in 1572. Its renewed eminence under the Mughals ceased after Aurangzeb's death in
1707. The British annexed Gujarat in 1818 and the city's first cotton mills were opened in
1859-61. The city grew again and became the largest inland industrial centre in India. It
was the temporary capital of Gujarat in 1960, until the state administration shifted to
Gandhinagar in 1970. In 2001 the city was rocked by a massive earthquake that killed
thousands of people.
Ahmedabad's architectural history fuses Hindu, Muslim, and Jain traditions. Ahmad Shah and
his successors converted Hindu temples to mosques. This gave many mosques and tombs a Hindu flavor in their form and decoration. The dense "forest" of 260 richly carved columns in the Jumma Masjid (Great Mosque), completed in 1423, recalls the hall of a Hindu temple. At the
mosque's entrance is the domed tomb of Ahmad Shah (1441), and on the road leading to it is
the Teen Darwaza, or triple arch (c. 1425). Other fine Muslim buildings include the mosque
at Rani Sipri's tomb (c.1505) and the exuberantly rich Rani Rupmati mosque (1515). An
interesting feature of the old city is its division into pols, or self-contained blocks of
houses that shelter thousands of people each and are bounded by gateways. Several wavs, or
stepped wells, abound in the city and its vicinity. Ahmedabad's city museum was designed by
the architect Le Corbusier. Sabarmati, a suburb west of the river, became well known as the
seat of Mahatma Gandhi's ashram.
