One of the most interesting attractions of the Indian state of Gujarat – Sarkhej rodg - is located seven kilometres South-West of the city of Ahmedabad, in the village of Makrana. He is still known as "the Acropolis of Ahmedabad".

At the time, Sarkhej rodg was one of the most famous Sufi centers throughout the country. This complex, which includes the cultural and religious buildings, was created under the leadership of two brothers from the Persians Azam e mu'azzama, by order of the Sultan Kutubuddin Ahmed Shah II in the period from 1451 in 1458. But its final majestic view of Sarkhej rodg acquired only during the reign of Sultan Mehmood Begada. Initially, the complex occupied the territory more than 29 acres and on all sides was surrounded by beautiful lush gardens. But over time, the villages around the complex grew and occupied its territory. So at the moment its area is only about 14 hectares.

Within the complex there are the palaces, tombs, mosques, pavilions and gazebos, which can be viewed in one day. As was typical of local buildings of the time, the architecture of Sarkhej rodg intertwined both the Indian and Muslim styles. So, the true Islamic features in the buildings are domes, carved columns and graceful lattice (in most buildings instead of arches were used lattice), while almost all decorative items, ornaments and patterns are viewed Indian folk motifs. Overall, the complex is an example of early Islamic architecture in this region, much borrowing from the architecture of Persia, and came under the strong influence of Hindu and Jain cultures, which ultimately led to the emergence of the Indo-Saracenic style.
