Built in 1424 during the reign of the founder of Ahmedabad, Ahmed Shah I, the architectural elements of the Jama Masjid suggest borrowing and sharing amongst cultures. Alongside the Arabic calligraphy, the mosque has domes shaped like lotuses, and some of the pillars are carved with bells, a reference to Hindu temples. This reflects adaptation and sensitive homage to customs and traditions, the balance between which continues to be central to contemporary ideas of citizenship. Textbooks might be written but one would hope that stories in stone remain eternal.
