Gumbaz

The Tipu Sultan Gumbaz

This was another decent monument I witnessed . The place speaks for itself and hence calls for a photograph .Gumbaz is the burial chamber of Tipu Sultan, his father Haider Ali and mother Fatima Begum and is circumvented by various other tombs of his relatives and nobles.

The Gumbaz has magnificent ebony doors decorated with ivory which was presented by Lord Dalhousie. The interior walls are covered with lacquer Tiger stripes which is Tipu's favourite. A corridor lined by pillars of black amphibole walls Gumbaz
