Tomb and Mosque of Shah Nawaz Khan, Bijapur. Photographer: Cousens, Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the tomb, with the little mosque beyond. Reproduced in Henry Cousens, 'Bijapur and its architectural remains' (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. ciii (a), and described p. 111: 'By the roadside, on the way out to the Amin Dargah, and rather more than a mile from the Shahpur Gate...He was one of Bijapur's nobles, though his name does figure very prominently in Bijapur history. This tomb, though of little architectural merit, is interesting as giving a general idea, on a small scale, of what Jahan Begam's tomb at Ainapur was probably intended to be like. On the west of the tomb is the mosque, with a tank between them. The very stilted look of the upper walls of the central chamber, and the dome above, is not altogether pleasant, and there is a lack of good proportion between the different parts of the general design. Taken altogether it shows signs of a general decadence in monumental building, which set in in Bijapur with the interference of the Mughal emperors in the affairs of the state...'
