Title:

Mosque at Shahpur known as the Sonahri Masjid, Bijapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view of the mosque, reproduced in Henry Cousens, 'Bijapur and its architectural remains' (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. lxxii (b) and described p. 87: 'It is almost a replica, on a smaller scale, of the mosque of the Ibrahim Rauza. Being smaller, it has three arches, instead of five, in its façade; but, in other respects, the various features, and even the ornamental detail, are the same. It has been much damaged, and the fallen minar, at the south end of the façade, broke away much of the cornice when it fell. The back minar at the opposite corner of the building has also gone, together with the two little chhatris or kiosks over the central piers of the façade; and the miniature minars at the corners of the upper terrace, around the base of the dome, have been destroyed...' This mosque is numbered 311 in the plan at the end of the volume.
