The Borrah Mosjeed, or Great Mosque of Golconda [Hayat Bakshi Begum Mosque]. Photographer: Nixon, H. J.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the Hayat Bakshi Begum Mosque. 'This magnificent structure is within a few feet of the western extremity of the Queen Mother's Tomb, forming a right angle with the northern side of the latter. It is the largest and most perfect of the hundreds of mosques that are scattered through the 'City of the Dead'. Its minarets are 150 feet high. Each minaret contains a spiral staircase, by means of ehich you can ascend to the top. The photograph better portrays the style and beauty of the architecture, than any description that the artist could give of it.'
