Ali I Rauza This was the first royal mausoleum to be built in Bijapur, the earliest Adil Shahi rulers were buried in smaller graves outside the capital. Each side of the Ali I Rauza has five arches of which the three narrow arches at the centre are grouped together. The wide end arches correspond to the vaulted corridor around the tomb chamber. A narrow staircase on the north wall leads to the roof which has three small domes. The west courtyard has high granite tombstones.
