This place is located in Bijapur
city. Bara Kaman is the unfinished mausoleum of Ali Adil Shah II in Bijapur,
Karnataka in India. Ali Adil Shah of the Adil Shahi dynasty wanted to build a
mausoleum of unmatched quality of architecture. As per the plan twelve arches
will be placed vertically as well as horizontally surrounding the tomb of Ali
Adil Shah. However due to unknown reason the work on the structure was left
incomplete and only two arches were raised vertically. However still, the
remains of the twelve arches placed horizontally can be seen.
