Champaner in Panchmahal Disrict of Gujarat is the least known UNESCO World Heritage sites in India and probably also the worst maintained. The town built in the 8th Century by Chavda ruler Vanraj was captured by the Sultan of Ahmedabad, Mahmud Begada and renamed Mahudabad. The Jami Masjid, like other mosques of the city has distinct Hindu and Jain architectural remnants. The building was clearly a Hindu or Jain temple converted into a Mosque by the addition of two imposing minars.

Yello-watteld Lapwing (Vanellus malabaricus) frequent dry scrubs, wastelends and fallow fields in the countryside and even some developing colonies and vacant fields in suburbs. This specimen was captured in the flats behind Sultanpur National Park in today's outing with my 500mm lens.
