Siddi Sayed ni Jali in Ahmedabad illustrates the delicate balance between competing narratives about space and conquest. Built in 1573, the last year of the Gujarat Sultanate, the legend is that the Hindu artisans who carved the stone latticework chose to show the palm tree, a symbol of Islam, being entwined with the Banyan tree, representing Hinduism. The combination of Muslim architects and Hindu stonemasons who built many of the monuments from the Sultanate and Mughal eras led to wonderfully varied symbols.
