Gol Gumbaz or Gol Gumbadh Kannada: ಗೋಲ ಗುಮ್ಮಟ Urdu: گول گمبد from Persian گل گنبذ Gol Gombadh meaning rose dome (a reference to the flower/rose/lotus petals that surround the dome at its base 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.
