Book Description

About the Book "Bijapur: The Former Capital of the Adil Shahi Kings" serves as a comprehensive guidebook detailing the remnants of Bijapur, offering a historical panorama. It explores prominent landmarks like Adil Shah's Rauza, various tombs including those of Malik Sandal and Yaqut Dabir, mosques such as the Zainuddin Masjid, and significant structures like the Bara Kaman. The preface emphasizes citations from historical references and Persian inscriptions. To ensure clarity and minimize repetition, the guide refrains from clustering similar structures and includes a useful itinerary for efficient exploration. Moreover, it features a fare scale for public transportation and incorporates two maps for enhanced convenience.

About the Author Henry Cousens (1854-1933) was a Scottish archaeologist and photographer renowned for his pioneering work in British India's monuments, notably Western India and Southern Pakistan. Joining the Archaeological Survey of India in 1881, he became Superintendent in 1891. Cousens meticulously surveyed and documented Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Islamic monuments, producing comprehensive reports and photographs.

Preface THERE has hitherto existed no work on Bijapur and its ruins that could be used as a guidebook. The portfolio of the late James Fergusson, LL.D., and Col. Meadows Taylor has long been out of print, and since it was written much fresh information has been gathered that would necessitate a revised edition. The best account that has been published is that by Mr. H. F. Silcock, c.s., for the Bijapur District volume of the Bombay Gazetteer, but the price and bulk of the book, of which the account of the city forms but a part, precludes its use as a handbook. The want of some guidebook to Bijapur has been much felt, especially by tourists and visitors. Mr. Ebden, the Collector of Bijapur, pointed this out to Government, and asked that Mr. Silcock should be requested, since he was willing to undertake it, to re-arrange his Gazetteer ac-count in the form of a guide. After this correspondence I visited Bijapur and spent a whole season there surveying its buildings in the ordinary course of my official duties, so that I had special opportunities of becoming intimately acquainted with its monuments. It was my intention on proceeding to Bijapur to write a small handbook or guide to the city.
