Champaner in Gujarat is an Architectural marvel

Image
Jama Masjid,Champaner About 47 kms from Vadodara in Gujarat is a not so well-known city by the name of Champaner. I am not certain why this city is not as well-known as the other cities in Gujarat considering that this city used to be the capital of Gujarat for a brief period of time. And t he best thing about Champaner is the architectural wonders that it houses. It is really strange that not many of us know about it! You can find more information about Champaner here . I am posting some pictures of the Jama Masjid. This masjid was built by Sultan Begada. It is perhaps among one of the best architectural structures in Gujarat. Photo credits-Soma Jha Jama Masjid Inside Jama Masjid Champaner .

Wild Ass, LRK, India Sharing some pictures of mammals sighted at the Wild Ass Sanctuary, Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat. In India, wild Ass can be sighted in Ladakh and Gujarat only. Hyenas are usually spotted in Velavadar National Park in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, and rarely in Little Rann of Kutch. It was quite an unusual and lucky sighting. Photo credits to Soma Jha.
