Title:

Tomb of Ali Adil Shah I, Bijapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view. This view is reproduced in Henry Cousens, Bijapur and its architectural remains (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl.xiv (b), and the tomb described pp. 53-54: '...It is evident he thought more of his religion than he did of his own glorification, for the tomb is but a poor mean edifice. It is situated in the fields in the sout-west quarter of the city. It is a low, almost square structure, each of its four walls being pierced by five arches, the two end ones being wider than the others...There is very little about the building that calls for remark save its severe plainness...'
