Gol Gumbaz or
Gol Gumbadh, from
Persian گل گنبذ Gol Gombadh meaning "rose
dome", (a reference to the
flower/rose/lotus petals that surround the dome at its base,
[citation needed] making it appear as a budding rose)-- is the
mausoleum of
Mohammed Adil Shah,
Sultan of Bijapur. The tomb, located in
Bijapur, Karnataka in
India, was completed in 1656 by the
architect Yaqut of Dabul. Although "impressively simple in design", it is the "structural triumph of
Deccan architecture"
