Asar Mahal

c. 1646 · 17th century

The Asar Mahal is a palace hall in Bijapur, in present-day Karnataka, built around 1646 by Sultan Muhammad Adil Shah, reputedly as a hall of justice. It later housed relics believed to be hairs from the beard of the Prophet Muhammad, from which it takes its name. With its tall wooden-pillared front facing a tank, it is one of the principal monuments of the Adil Shahi capital.
