Title:

Front view of the Mehtar Mahal, Bijapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view of the building, reproduced in Henry Cousens, 'Bijapur and its architectural remains' (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. lxv, and described pp. 84-87: 'The Mihtar Mahall is one of the show buildings of Bijapur. It stands upon the south side of the road, between the Jami Masjid and the citadel gateway, being nearer the latter. It is a building of ne exceptional design, yet, nevertheless, the clever treatment of its parts and its decorative detail, make it one of the prettiest structures in Bijapur. Though called a mahall, or palace, it is really the gateway to the inner courtyard of a mosque...It is however, a little more than a mere gateway, for it has upper rooms and balconies above the entrance, where men might assemble and spend an hour lounging in the bays of the windows and enjoy the pleasant views of the city...'
