Rani no Hajiro The clamorous, cobbled road at Fernandez Bridge leads to the Jumma Masjid and the adjacent tombs of Sultan Ahmed Shah I, who founded Ahmedabad in 1411, and his descendants. It comes as no surprise to find that Rani no Hajiro, the hallowed burial site of royal ladies, now contains the city’s hotspot for trendy teens — Fashion Street. Rani no Hajiro was built in the 15 century by the great sultan Ahmed Shah. The hajiro is a vault for graves and served as the last resting place for queens of this empire. Subsequent rulers of the area also continued this tradition. Walls surrounding these graves from the outside are magnificently carved out of stones. The burial place is in the centre and demarcated by a cloister (veranda). The art of Brocade, which is as old as the history of Gujarat itself, was introduced in the reign of Ahmed Shah. This beautifully hand woven Zari cloth was used to cover the graves of the queens. It is believed that the uncharacteristic construction of an open air design of the courtyard was built according to the desire of Ahmad Shah’s queen. It was unusual because before her request, the design was a large dome covering the grave and enclosed into an ambulatory. A great example of the mix of Hindu, Jain and Islamic culture, Rani no Hajiro showcases intricate design and carving work on the walls and domes. The burial place or the inner area is kept locked to maintain tranquillity and cleanliness of the place. The place is maintained by a family of caretakers, who have been doing this for almost five generations now. They ensure that it remains untainted and pure.

I went to this place on 12 Feburary 2023 it is also known as Mughalai Bibi's Tomb or Tombs of Ahmed Shah's Queens The enclosure is high above the ground entered by a lofty gateway and the courtyard surrounded by a trellised cloister. The walls of cloister are fitted with carved stone screens. The square open enclosure of 36.58 meters side is probably built in 1445. The courtyard contains eight marble tombs of queens of Ahmed Shah I and other Gujarat Sultanate rulers. They are elaborately carved and inlaid with work of mother-of-pearl and metal. The principal tomb belongs to Mughalai Bibi, the wife of Muhammad Shah II and mother of Mahmud Begada. It is richly carved in white marble, and girt with a Persian inscription in minute relief. An adjacent tomb in black marble, once inlaid with mother-of-pearl, belongs to Mirki or Murki Bibi, the wife of Shah e Alam, the sister of queen and the daughter of Jam of Sindh. These tombs are covered with rich brocade works, the textile style developed during reign of Ahmed Shah I. The intricate stone tracery and carving is an amalgamation of Hindu, Jain, and Islamic architectural styles. Some Muslim families live inside complex which take care of the tombs

The Rani no Hajiro are the tombs and mausoleums of the queens of the kings of the Muzaffarid Dynasty of Gujarat. The mausoleum is raised above ground and is a square building with and open courtyard where the tombs are held. The lower level is largely hidden from view thanks to the shops and stalls surrounding the building. These also cover large sections of the upper section, which is a great pity because once you climb up to the upper levels, the mausoleum is a beautiful building. It’s built in the wonderful Gujarati style with lattice works and highly elaborate columns of superb craftsmanship, especially the colonnade surrounding the courtyard. Despite being a protected site, the condition of the building is poor, but still good enough to make it worthwhile visiting.

This is a very good place with amazing architecture. But this place is in need of serious conservation and restoration efforts. Nearby areas are so occupied with shops that it becomes difficult to locate this monument. Local people should understand that people come here because of these monuments only and they should take care of these monuments responsibly. Anyways, the monument is a clear architectural master piece.

Rani no Haziro is a historically known monument of Ahmedabad, which is situated in the middle of the old city of Ahmedabad in the Manek chowk area, it was build in the memories of late queen of ahmedabad, she was buried with her pets. The carvings of the HZIRA is very very attractive, must visit place

Its located in the old city and in a very crowded locality. The point from where the cab drops you to the monument is a small local market selling oxidised jewellry. The main door was locked denying access to the inside . The monument is not well maintained and looked like an old tattered house .

One of the relatively untouched gems of the city. Beautiful stone jali work and tombs of varying sizes denoting importance and age of the person it commemorates. It's really beautiful how history and life can coexist in this city. Vital place for anyone seeking an authentic Amdavad experience.

Ranino hajiro is a tomb adjoining the juma masjid of Ahmedabad,near Manek Chowk. The place is under ASI and recently added under UNESCO as amdavad heritage city. The place though is poorly maintained, the in and surroundings are also in bad shape. Not a must visit place but can visit if interested in completing the heritage tour of Ahmedabad

Not very well maintained by govt, but good heritage. But architects, travellers, engineers can come and see the beautiful heritage. It's in small crowded street, better come by walk than in vehicles and roam around in this place. Raja no hajiro Rani no hajiro opposite to each other which are aligned to jama masjid.

Rani no hajiro, the queen of baadshah ahmed oldest heritage place located at Manek Chowk. Although the place is not clean honestly as people surrounded it with their daily life. Best varities for chaniya choli & Oxodised jwellery as well as good market for other shoppings same like Lal Darwaja Market shops !!

Artificial jewellery market for ladies. It's about half a kilometer from the teen darwaza market on one side and on the other side you have lal darwaza market. Require good bargaining skills in all these local markets.

This is an amazing place, especially when there is a wedding ceremony happening within the grounds. The nicest people invited us in to eat and celebrate with them. Take the time to walk through this area, it is not easy getting to it. Pro Tip: Take a local with you.

Rani no hajiro is a heritage property but unfortunately no one care about it. It's good place for navratri shopping also. Must visit once

Rani no hajiro is basically Tombs of queens of Ahmed Shah. It is located in crowded (market) place of Ahmedabad city. Closed in covid pandemic period. The place is bit disturbed by locals beside the monument,

You can purchase variety of mukhwas, decorative items for gifting for every occasion, ready made garments and many more @ very reasonable rate. But you have to face lots of traffic and parking problem.

The best ever place for ethnic stuff. A must visit if you love quaint things. Best place to visit before Navaratri.

Historical place of India in Gujarat 's Ahmedabad. Visited with my kid & he joyfully understood our Indian Culture.. My visit..

It's a historical place. For clicking good pictures also a good place.
