ON THE MUHAMMADAN ARCHITECTURE OF BHAROCH, CAMBAY, DHOLKA, CHAMPANIR, AND MAHMUDABAD IN GUJARAT

About the book:-The author reveals that the previous volume of the Architecture of Ahmadabad took account of the principal Muhammhdan buildings erected there from the foundation of the city in A. D. 1412 to about 1520. There remained, however, several structures belonging to the latter portion of that period that were excluded from want of space, and these are taken up in the present volume, whilst the series is continued down into the 18th century. Thus, together with volume VI of the Western India Survey Reports, which dealt with the Muhammadan architecture of the districts outside Ahmadabad, this may be regarded as completing the survey of the Gujarat style of Muslim Architecture, and the three volumes together as forming a monograph on the subject. This volume has accordingly been supplied with an index to the three. But as the Muhammadan remains at Ahmadabad are so very numerous, it is only a selection of them that could be surveyed and delineated in any detail to supply some idea, however, of those that have been passed over, short descriptive accounts have been given in chapters XV and XVI of those within the city and in the suburbs respectively. These accounts or notes are based on the returns prepared for the Collector in 1886 by the Deputy-Collector, J. F. Fernandez, supplemented by personal observation and for the Lists of Remains prepared by him in 1884-85. The book is profusely illustrated with 85 photographic and lithographed plates to make it more informative in the annals of the history.
