Excerpt from Photographs of Architecture and Scenery in Gujarat and Rajputana This is near the Astoria Gate on the south-east side of the city. Unfortunately, its position prevents its being seen to advantage: it stands with its south-west corner to the street, which is much lower than the plat form ou which both it and the mausoleum stand. Rani Sipri was the wife of one of the sons of Ahmad Shah, and doubtless the daughter of some Hindu chief; and, as was usually the case, the tomb and its necessary adjunct the mosk were probably built by herself during her lifetime. They were completed Anno Hejira 835 (zie. A.d. I432). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
