	Ibrahim Rauza (‘Rauza’ means "tomb") also known as Ali Rauza, built in 1627, contains the tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah II and his queen Taj Sultana. It was originally intended to be the tomb for the queen. It is a fine square structure with twin buildings with delicate carvings. It was designed by the Persian architect, Malik Sandal (his grave also lies in the courtyard). The tomb (of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, his two sons, and his mother) on the left and a mosque on the right within it are set in a walled garden (about {{convert\|140\|m\|ft}} square) facing each other over an ornamental pond. The tomb as such is in a central chamber of {{convert\|13\|m\|ft}} square and has a ceiling that is divided into nine squares with curved sides. Graceful minarets mark the corners of each symmetrical building, surmounted by a dome rising from a lotus petal base.
