Resumo
View reproduced in Henry Cousens, Bijapur and its architectural remains (A.S.I., Imperial series, vol. XXXVII, Bombay, 1916), pl. ii (a), and described pp. 54-57: 'The Gagan Mahall, or 'The Sky (kissing) Palace' (Hall of Assembly)…is notable for the immense arch spanning the whole front of the darbar hall, which, with a tall narrow one flanking it on either side, forms the façade of the building. It is now roofless, and is naught but a vast empty shell of masonry…' The Sat Manzili is in the background left of centre. The small square building on the left was converted (from a building of unknown function) for use as the station church. Photographer: Cousens, Henry.
