The construction is impressive even though it isn't complete. This 12-story building was never completed because of the death of the monarch, but given its strong foundation, it presumably would have been taller than Gol Gumbaz. a beautiful location for photos. There is no entrance price, but there are no parking places, which is complete confusion and disorder due to the outside traffic. According to a common story explaining the failure of "Bara Kaman," the "Gol Gumbaz" may be hidden by the shadows of "Bara Kaman." The size and beauty of the Bara Kaman edifice that was planned mesmerised us. The most remarkable structure with in landmark of "Bijapur" would have been Bara Kaman had it been built to completion. One of best creation of Adil Shahi dynasty. Best time to visit in the morning.

Every beautiful thing has a little tragedy like Bara Kaman where Adil Shah’s journey ended before he could complete this beautiful monument monument.

Despite being incomplete, the structure is nonetheless remarkable. Due to the ruler's death, the construction of this 12-storey structure was never finished which probably would have surpassed the height of Gol Gumbaz due to its sturdy base. A great location to take pics. There are no parking spaces which is absolutely chaos and disorderly due to the prevailing traffic outside, but there is no entry fee.

Incomplete arch structure but impressive nonetheless. This was supposed to be a 12 storey building with the capability to be higher than gol gumbaz thanks to it's better foundation but was never completed because the ruler died. Good place to click some pictures.

An unfinished monument. If finished, it was supposed to be bigger than gol gumbaz. There is nothing much to see except the arches which are partially destroyed.

Almost in the centre of the city, and to the north-west of the citadel, is a large square building, roofless and with unfinished arches in dark basalt. This is the tomb of Ali Adil Shah II (1656-72). Probably begun on his accession to the throne in 1656 and intended to rival Gol Gumbaz, the tomb of his father, Muhammad Adil Shah. The building was conceived on a magnificent scale but was destined never to be completed. The platform is 20 feet high. This great elevated basement, on which the arches of this unfinished structure stand, is 215 feet square, while that of the Gol Gumbaz is 158 feet square. In the centre, on a raised platform, are the tomb stones of Ali Adil Shah II and some of his family members, the graves being in the crypt below, which is entered by a door on the east side. The whole structure with the lofty basement would, if it had been completed, have been a most graceful monument in Vijayapura.

Zero fees to enter.. And the place is worth watching ❤

Incomplete but still awe imposing! This structure was designed to be 12 arches each standing 12 storey tall - probably would have looked something like the Colosseum! It would have cast it's shade on the Gol Gumbaz. The structure could not be completed as the ruler having it built, died. Open till 5.40 pm on weekdays. Did not find Parking area for the structure. No entry fee here.

1672 AD was the time when Bara kaman work was commenced by Adil Shah II, Bara Kaman is an unfinished structure situated. As the name indicates Bara (12) which was supposed to have mausoleum of 12 beautiful arches vertical and horizontal surrounding the mausoleum of king Ali and his wives However, the mausoleum and the arches were left unfinished as Adil Shah II was murdered by his own father and the construction of Bara Kaman was left incomplete as he did not want Bara Kaman to lessen the architectural marvel of Gol Gumbaz Historical place like Bara Kaman always enriches you with knowledge and our history has so much to offer us Just stunned by how it was constructed in 1672 AD Must visit here

Beautiful structure but couldn't be completed as the ruler died before completion of this structure. It would have been a beautiful structure had it been completed. No parking charges and no entry fees to this monument.

It would have been better if there were cloakrooms and cleanly maintained washrooms in this area. Otherwise, it's good for photo shoots.

U can enjoy here as a picnic place and some photos, looks like photo shoot with poles. Except this ,it's just an hour visit place please do not plan for the whole day for here. No entry fees. Located near to Gandhi chowk main market so u can do a lots of shopping here. There are some park campus near to this monument. Only one time visit and just an hour visit.

An unfinished project that is based on barah (12) kaman (arches). If finished, this would likely have been a base for a much larger structure (some kind of palace) on top. The arches are free standing, as they used to be in those days, without concrete.

Bara Kamanu fails to impress with its dilapidated structures and lack of proper upkeep. The site appears abandoned, showcasing neglect rather than historical charm. Poor signage adds to the confusion, leaving visitors disoriented and frustrated. It's a regrettable destination, as the historical potential is overshadowed by inadequate maintenance and a disappointing overall atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) Ali Adil Shah of the Adil Shahi Dynasty wanted to build an unparalleled architectural tomb. It was planned to place twelve arches vertically and horizontally around Ali Adil Shah's tomb. However, the structure work remains unfinished for unknown reasons: only two arches were raised vertically. Rumor has it that the tomb's construction has been stopped once its shadow hits the Goal Gombez. The remains of twelve arches that have been placed horizontally in the recent past can still be seen.

It was supposed to be a beautiful structure by Ali Adil Shah II, unfortunately it did not complete due to some unknown reasons, Rumour has it that the construction of the mausoleum was stopped because once completed its shadow would touch the Gol Gumbaz.

Best for. Tourism

If Adil shah successors were alive then Bara Kaman would be world's biggest monument than golgumbaz. Do not visit in March - May as its too hot in vijayapura.

One of the historical place constructed by Adil sha, well maintained but little bit safety concerned as edges of the bara kaman are open. Need to takecare of childrens while visiting this place.

It's a Historical Place. It Has a 12 Arches incompleted. Must Visit Once. Early Morning and Evening is the Best Time to visit. No Parking Facilities Available. Difficult to park Road Side Parking.

This is quite an "inaccessible" archaeological site in a way - it just exists. There is no place nearby to park a four-wheeler, the place looks abandoned except for a couple of security guards, photography with a professional camera (DSLR/SLR/P&S) isn't allowed but mobile photography is, and I could find no plaques from the ASI to help me understand what I was looking at. Very confusing. Baara Kamaan (12 arches) is the incomplete tomb of Ali Adil Shah II. The pity of it all is that his tomb (and those of his wife etc.) is actually on the unfinished site, making the whole place seem more and more like an abandoned ghost house.

When visiting Bijapur, make sure to explore its rich heritage sites, including the famous attractions. Understanding the history behind these sites, especially the intriguing story of the incomplete structure, enhances the experience. While parking facilities may be limited and somewhat dizzying, they are manageable, given the relatively low number of visitors to these sites."

This Monument called Bara Kaman ( 12 arches ) is the unfinished mausoleum of Ali Adil Shah II and is situated in the heart of the town inside a crowded lane so can be missed easily. There is no entry fee to view this monument . Parking is somewhat difficult to find because of less space in front of it. The structure was supposed to have twelve arches vertically and horizontally surrounding the mausoleum of the king Ali and his wives. However as the history says, the mausoleum and the arches were left unfinished as Adil Shah II was murdered by his own father and the construction of Bara Kaman was left incomplete as he did not want Bara Kaman to lessen the architectural marvel of Gol Gumbaz.

Not much crowd but gud for photoshoots . U get the feel of history

Pls visit once ... it's awesome Behind the story of bara kaman is very interesting... Why bara kaman is uncomplicated ?? This question is very important if u want answer just come to Bara kaman..

Its a beautiful structure of engineering even though its incomplete.

Bara Kaman means 12 arches ..Part of the famed Adil Shahi architecture it is another beautiful monument in Bijapur in Karnataka state. It has a nice high structure and good area to watch .Close to Mehtar Mehal it is astride the main Gandhi Road which leads to the world famous Gol Gumbaz .

Amazing Place. Dont leave untill u hear the story behind this place...

A ruining structure at heart of Vijayapura. Be cautious that there is no parking space here.. so keep away your 4 wheeler elsewhere and go by auto or walk . Very nearby.

Incomplete structure but astoundingly majestic

The Bara Kaman was built in 1672AD, by Ali Adil Shah II, and was supposed to be the burial mausoleum for the king and his wives. Bara Kaman has the tombs of Ali Adil Shah II, his wife Chand Bibi, his mistresses and his daughters.

Very huge pillars.

This incomplete structure is beautiful and helps us to understand how they were building stone arches and the engineering mechanism used for building massive domes and colorful minarets.the unlucky tombs are placed in the middle of the structure and prayer hall or Masjid is missing.

Nice place.. no place for parking vehicle. No maintenance

Not too good but still is it ok

Simple but beautiful one

Nice I was very confused 😕 that how it is Bara kaman

Historical place located near city centre. Could not find a knowledgeable guide to give details of the history of this place. Car parking is a problem. There are good hotels close by. My personal advice do not hire any Tonga wala gaadi, if you have your own vehicles.

One of the rare historical monuments and need to preserve them well. Good place overall

Need to maintain

Nice place to visit

Good place must go

Best place to visit

Bara kaman is very nice place

Very nice and very excellent

Excellent Communication, well branded products & many more,

Because it is incomplete structure

Wonderful 🙏🙏

Historic monument having story behind construction

Good place

Super place

Small monument - near the main market in Vijayapura ( Bijapur) . Makes for excellent photos and is a calm and serene place . Make sure you get in early morning or early evening so you get good pictures . Parking near the monument is very less and difficult , given it is the middle of a T junction and narrow roads - safer to park on the main road near the auto rickshaw stand and walk to this place .

Bara (12) kaman is one of the attractions and it’s incomplete building ,Nice historical monument. It means, the building being built would have total 12 floors and the king died due to natural causes and other means are fake stories.

It's 12 Arches mausoleum which is unfinished. It's best place to take photos. The history tells that Adil Sha constructed Bara Kaman which is more bigger than Gol Gumbaz which may create shadow on Gol Gumbaz. No parking facility available.

This place is good. But there should be benches for sitting as they do not allow you to sit under the structure. Also there is a need of some information about the structure.

Place is hudge and nice to visit. Place is started to build but stopped in middle. It has 8 X 8 kaman ( rounded angles ) out of which 12 complete only

The Bara Kaman was built in 1672AD, by Ali Adil Shah II, and was supposed to be the burial mausoleum for the king and his wives.

Bara Kaman is the unfinished mausoleum of Ali Adil Shah II in Bijapur, Karnataka in India.#Managed by ASI #1672AD #07:30 AM to 07:30 PM, Must visit

A grand edifice meant to be the mausoleum ofAli Adil Shah II and the women of his family , was left incomplete . What we see now are impressive arches standing on a raised platform . The place is quite picturesque . The construction was undertaken in 17th Century. The monument is well worth visiting. But, sadly , the approach road is very congested and filthy . And no car parking space nearby .

Ali Adil Shah of the Adil Shahi dynasty wanted to build a mausoleum of unmatched architectural quality. It was planned that twelve arches would be placed vertically as well as horizontally surrounding the tomb of Ali Adil Shah. However, for unknown reasons the work on the structure was left incomplete: only two arches were raised vertically. Rumour has it that the construction of the mausoleum was stopped because once completed its shadow would touch the Gol Gombaz. Nowadays the remains of the twelve horizontally placed arches can still be seen.

It is unfinished, yes, but the beauty of this place lies in it being unfinished, it is up to interpretation and speculation what and how would it have looked like if it had been built, and it was supposed to be the burial mausoleum for the king Ali Adil Shah II and his wives. The incomplete structure inspires the heart as to how it would have been. how would it have looked, if it was completed for real.

Bara Kaman is the unfinished mausoleum of Ali Adil Shah II. Ali Adil Shah of the Adil Shahi dynasty wanted to build a mausoleum of unmatched architectural quality.

Almost in the centre of the city, and to the north-west of the citadel, is a large square building, roofless and with unfinished arches in dark basalt. This is the tomb of Ali Adil Shah II (1656-72). Probably begun on his accession to the throne in 1656 and intended to rival Gol Gumbaz, the tomb of his father, Muhammad Adil Shah. The building was conceived on a magnificent scale but was destined never to be completed. The platform is 20 feet high. This great elevated basement, on which the arches of this unfinished structure stand, is 215 feet square, while that of the Gol Gumbaz is 158 feet square. In the centre, on a raised platform, are the tomb stones of Ali Adil Shah II and some of his family members, the graves being in the crypt below, which is entered by a door on the east side. The whole structure with the lofty basement would, if it had been completed, have been a most graceful monument in Vijayapura. The building is well maintained with a beautiful garden around the monument. It is called BARA KAMAN by the people.

The edifice is right inside Bijapur city, walkable from the bus stand. I do not feel that it is well taken care of. It os a fantastic monument.
