Ibrahim Rauza

Ibrahim Rauza is Bijapur's most elegant monument — a 17th-century Adil Shahi mausoleum complex of graceful proportions, intricate stone lacework, and serene garden setting, often called the Taj Mahal of the Deccan. Said to have inspired the Taj Mahal's design. A top Bijapur sightseeing and photography destination. Entry fee applies; more aesthetically refined than Gol Gumbaz. Best photographed at sunrise when soft morning light falls on the delicate stone carvings.
