One more thread,

The old city of ahmedabad, Old name Karnavati, has dozens of ancient structures which are considered as mosques.

will elaborate you all what I analyzed when i was on visit if Ahmedabad.

See some temple motifs carved on stone lattice. Will brief these motifs.
I found this lattice design at patthar wali masjid near rani sipri masjid. This is a kind of swastika known as nandavarta.
When I first entered to mosque, I noticed the nandavarta which is similar to swastika.

I realize the so called patthar wali masjid was a temple in past. I saw many other hindu motifs like surya and moon, astrology symbols, gavaksha, belpatra or floral design.
