Architecture of the Deccan sultanates - Wiki slovník

Deccani architecture, particularly the architecture of the Bahmani and Deccan Sultanates, is the architecture of the Deccan Plateau, and is a regional variant of Indo-Islamic architecture. It was influenced by the styles of the Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal architecture, but sometimes also influenced from Persia and Central Asia. Hindu temple architecture in the same areas had very different styles.

The Bahmani and Deccan sultanates ruled the Deccan Plateau for the majority of the 13th–17th centuries. The Deccan sultanates were five dynasties that ruled late medieval Indian kingdoms, namely the Bijapur, Golkonda, Ahmadnagar, Bidar, and Berar sultanates.

The rulers of the five Deccan sultanates and the Bahmani sultanate had a number of cultural contributions in the fields of art, music, literature and architecture. The Bidar and Golconda forts are examples of the architecture and military planning of the sultanates. Apart from forts, they also constructed many tombs, mosques and madrasas. Gol Gumbaz (tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah), was the second largest dome in the world.^[when?]

In 2014, UNESCO put a group of buildings on its "tentative list" to become a World Heritage Site under the name "Monuments and Forts of the Deccan Sultanate" (despite there being multiple sultanates). These are:^[1]

Bahmani Monuments at Gulbarga, Karnataka
Bahmani and Barid Shahi Monuments at Bidar, Karnataka
Adil Shashi Monuments at Bijapur, Karnataka
Qutb Shahi Monuments at Hyderabad, Telangana

Architecture of the Bahmani Sultanate

The Bahmani Sultanate constructed many architectural works, although many of them have been destroyed. Shown are some ruins showcasing their architectural legacy.^[2] The Gulbarga Fort, Haft Gumbaz, and Jama Masjid in Gulbarga, Bidar Fort and Madrasa Mahmud Gawan^[3] in Bidar, are the major architectural contributions.

The later rulers were buried in an elaborate tomb complex, known as the Bahmani Tombs.^[4] The exterior of one of the tombs is decorated with coloured tiles. Arabic, Persian and Urdu inscriptions are inscribed inside the tombs.^[4]^[5]

The Bahmani rulers built tombs and mosques in Bidar and Gulbarga. They also built many forts at Daulatabad, Golconda and Raichur. The architecture was influenced by Persian architecture. They invited architects from Persia, Turkey and Arabia. Some of the structures built by the Bahmanis were the Jami Masjid at Gulbarga, Chandand Minar and the Mahmud Gawan Madrasa at Bidar.^{[citation needed]}

The Persianate Indo-Islamic style of architecture developed during this period was later adopted by the Deccan Sultanates as well.

Architecture of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate

Palaces such as the Farah Bakhsh Bagh, Hasht Bihisht Bagh, and Manjarsumbah are in and around Ahmadnagar city. There exist tombs of nobles like Salabat Khan and Changiz Khan, and also of saints like Shah Sharif and Bava Bangali.^[6]

Malik Ambar is credited with the construction of the Janjira Fort in the Murud Area of present-day Maharashtra India.^[7] After its construction in 1567 AD, the fort was key to the Sidis withstanding various invasion attempts by the Marathas, Mughals, and Portuguese to capture Janjira.^[8]

Farah Bagh (also called Faria Bagh) is situated in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. It is a palace build by Nizam Shahi rulers in Ahmednagar.^[9]^[10]^[11] Farah Bagh was the centrepiece of a palatial complex completed in 1583. It was a special possession of the royal household and Murtaza Nizam Shah often retired here to play chess with a Delhi singer whom he called Fateh Shah and also built for him a separate mahal called Lakad Mahal in the garden. ^{[citation needed]}

Architecture of the Bijapur Sultanate

Prominent monuments in Bijapur are the Gagan Mahal, Gol Gumbaz, Bijapur Fort and Ibrahim Rauza. Gol Gumbaz is the tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah and it contains the second largest dome in the world constructed before modern age. The external diameter of the hemispherical dome is 44 m. Ibrahim Rouza is the tomb for Ibrahim Adil Shah II and it is one of the most beautiful monument in Bijapur.

The Jami Masjid is one of the largest mosques in India having courtyard of 11,000 square feet. Other architectural works of this period in Bijapur are the Chini Mahal, Jal Mandir, Sat Manzil, Gagan Mahal, Anand Mahal and the Asar Mahal (1646).^[12]

Architecture of the Golconda Sultanate

Golkonda fort, built by the Qutb Shahi dynasty, is one of the most impregnable forts in India. It is also known for its acoustic features and water management.

The Jami Masjid (1518) built by Quli Qutb Mulk is a notable mosque in Golkonda. The tombs of Qutb Shahis are a mausoleum complex, a royal necropolis of 30 tombs of the royal family. These were erected from 1543 to 1672.

Char Minar, in the heart of Hyderabad, was completed in 1591. It has four minarets of 56 m. height. The construction of the Makkah Masjid was started in 1617 during the reign of Muhammad Qutb Shah but completed only in 1693.^[13]
