Ibrahim Rouza is a mausoleum which was built by Ibrahim Adil Shah II for his queen, Taj Sultana in 1626. As a matter of fact both of them are buried here as he died before her.
It has a mosque and four graceful 24m-high minarets within a rectangular enclosure.
This has to be one of India's most impressive Islamic monument, being finely proportioned, elegant and displaying amazing sculptural details.
It is also a haven of peace, and I highly recommend spending a few hours here in the late afternoon, after what I'm sure must have been a tiring day in hectic, dusty but incredibly fascinating Bijapur. The garden around the mausoleum is just delightful.
