The Ibrahim Roza complex located in the western outskirts of the Bijapur (State: Karnataka) city. Built sometime in 16th century, it comprises of a tomb and mosque. For now we will concentrate on the details of mosque.
The mosque has perfect domes that is topped with crescent moons. There are symmetrical minarets on four corners of the mosque.
The doorways with the distinctive pointed arch lead into cool high-ceiling chambers. The carvings on the arches are very grand.
If keenly observed one can see a stone chain hanging from the top.
The symmetry in the arches are worth noticing and interiors are well decorated and properly carved.
