Description:
The Jumma Masjid is the first mosque built in Bijapur. Built over a span of nearly 100 years, most of it was completed by the famous Bahamani Sultan, Adil Shah. This large mosque was added upon by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb much later. The majestic tomb rises above the roof in a semicircle resembling the bud of a flower. The interiors of the mosque are simpe as compared to many others except for a few motifs on the arches and a heavy curtain hanging over the Mehrab which has domes, minarets and niches with books flower vases and Persian writings inscribed on it.
