Ali II Rauza

This structure, the tomb of Ali Adil Shah II, was intended to surpass all others. It remained unfinished except for this arcade of arches around the central tomb chamber. They stand on a plinth that measures larger than that of the Gol Gumbad. At the centre of the inner enclosure is the granite tomb of Ali Adil Shah II, placed on a raised platform.
