Text Appearing Before Image: t.^ Fromthe gallery outside there is a fine viewover Bijapur. On the E. is Alipur ;on the W. are seen the IbrahimRoza, the Upari Burj, the Sherza,or Lion Bastion, and to the N.W. theunfinished tomb of Ali Adil ShahII., and about i m. towards the N.the ruins of the villages of the masonsand painters employed on the GolGumbaz; and on the S.W. is thedome of the Jama Masjid. There isa small annexe to the mausoleum onthe N., without a roof, built by SultanMuhammad as a tomb, it is supposed,for his mother, Zohra Sahibah, fromwhom one of the suburbs was calledZohrapur. It was never finished oroccupied. Below the dome is the cenotaph ofSultan Muhammad in the centre. 1 The most ingenious and novel part ofthe construction is the mode in which itslateral and outward thrust is counteracted.This was accomplished by forming the pen-dentives so that they not only cut off theangles, but that, as shown in the plan, theirarches intersect one another and form avery considerable mass of masonry perfectly Text Appearing After Image: ' Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. |
