Tomb of Jahan Begam

Bijapur, India

The tomb of Jahan Begam is unfinished but is similar and size and design to the Gol Gumbaz, with four corner towers and a square plan surrounded by a double arcade with three arches on each face between the corner towers. The four central facade arches are left open, unlike Gol Gumbaz. Inner walls were intended to enclose the tomb chamber and support a dome. It is uncertain whose tomb this is, as two wives of Muhammad Shah lie next to him in the Gol Gumbaz, so this may have been a third wife, or his mother.
