Black Taj Mahal 

Black Taj Mahal

Ibrahim Rauza in Bijapur, Karnataka. Ibrahim Rauza, often called the Black Taj Mahal (Rauza refers to the tomb of a king and Makbara is a tomb of a queen). Ibrahim Rauza is the tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah II and this architecture is comparable to a black Taj Mahal. It is said that this was an inspirational design for The Taj Mahal. There are two structures facing each other. One is a Black Taj Mahal and the other is a Masjid (mosque) and a water tank and fountain are between these two structures. There is wonder in these two structures. If a person stands in the corner of the Masjid and whispers, it can be heard in the inner part of Ibrahim Rauza. But for this demonstration you need to take the help of a guide available there.
