Jama Masjid
Said to have motivated the Taj Mahal in Agra, this splendid mosque and tomb in Bijapur is very impressive. However, the jewel of Adil Shahi structural design is the Jami Masjid, with its graceful arches, aisles, halls, intricate designs and large crowning onion dome.
What makes it even more special is the priceless Koran written in letters of gold that is carefully preserved here.
A large fountain and reservoir divide the mosque from the tomb. Fergusson, the famous historian found these beautiful group of buildings far excelling anything of the sort on this side of the Hellespont.
The enchanting building has a mosque facing it. Embracing 1, 16,300 square feet is the Jamma Masjid -"one of the premium mosques in India".
