Monument – Manek Burj, Ahmedabad
Built by – Ahmad Shah I
Built in – 1411

Manek Burj is named after the legendary 15th-century Hindu saint, Maneknath, who intervened to help Ahmed Shah I built the Bhadra Fort in 1411

Manek Burj was the original bastion of Ahmedabad. It was built around the city’s foundation stone, laid by Ahmed Shah I on 26 February 1411. The bastion is 53 feet (16 m) high on the outside. It once contained a roofed stepwell with a circumference of 77 feet (23 m), the Manek Kuva. The well was filled and sealed in 1866 after the Sabarmati river changed its course, causing the Manek Kuva to run dry. A water channel near the bastion once brought water to the royal baths.”
