Title:

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

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

Reproduced in Henry Cousens, 'Bijapur and its architectural remains' (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. lxii (b) and described p. 86: 'The mosque, within, is a neat little building. It possessed a very fine cornice and brackets, and has a rich parapet along the top. The minarets, however, are not quite in keeping with the rest. They are very primitive looking and inelegant, and compare very unfavourably with those of the gateway, being nothing more than tall, tapering, round shafts, with a ring of leaves about half-way up to break the monotny of their outline...The masonry of the building is fair, but not nearly so good as that of the Anda Masjid...There is no dome over the mosque, the roof being flat.'
