Description: | Photograph of the Mecca masjid, Bijapur from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections taken by Henry Cousens in the 1880s. This is a view looking across the courtyard towards the screen of the prayer hall and the dome of the Mecca Masjid (c.1669). Henry Cousens wrote: "One of the most perfect buildings, though very small, is the little Makka Masjid, shut in by very high walls in the south-eastern corner of the citadels...'' The high walls that enclose the mosque have carved details. The massive minarets of rough material are the remnants of a pre-existing mosque. The facade of the mosque is of five bays and it is crowned by a dome. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cousens, Henry | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
