Title:

The Anand Mahal after conversion, Bijapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

A very similar view is reproduced in Henry Cousens, Bijapur and its architectural remains (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. lv (b), and the building described p. 77: '...situated in the Citadel, close to the Gagan Mahall, on the east. It is said to have been built by Ibrahim II in A.D. 1589...for dancing and singing...When the general conversion of the buildings in the citadel took place this was transformed into a joint residence for the Assistant Collector and the Judge...The result in this case is a rabbit-warren of passages and awkward little compartments, in which one might almost lose oneself. Small rooms, and unsatisfactory lighting and ventilation, make it anything but a desirable modern abode. The only feature remaining, more or less intact, of the original edifice, is the great central façade with the entrance hall...'
