Ancient Hindoo College in the Citadel [Karim-ud-Din's Mosque, Bijapur]. Photographer: Biggs, Thomas
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking towards Karim-ud-Din's Mosque in the left foreground, with the Sat Manzil at the right. The mosque utilises the columns of a former Hindu temple: 'This building, or at least a portion of it, has been called an agrahara or Brahmanical college; but this is altogether wrong, for...it is, save for that portion forming the entrance to the courtyard, a purely Muhammadan building erected from a miscellaneous lot of material obtained from one or more old temples' (Henry Cousens, 'Bijapur and its architectural remains', ASI, vol. XXXVII, Imperial series, Bombay, 1916, p. 43).
Subjects = Indian architecture; Indian architecture (Islamic); mosques; printed books; Taylor and Fergusson, 'Architecture at Beejapoor' (1866)
