The Barid Shahi tombs are tombs of the Barid Shahi dynasty. They are located in Bidar in the Indian state of Karnataka.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

The Barid Shahi dynasty ruled between 1492 and 1695.

They were built during the medieval period in the 16th and 17th centuries.[2]

Architecture[edit | edit source]

The tombs were built in the Indo-Islamic style typical of the Deccan Sultanates. Similar necropolises include the Qutb Shahi tombs in Hyderabad.[3] They are set in a garden, of which a few mango and tamarind trees still survive.[citation needed]

Tomb of Qasim Barid[edit | edit source]

The Tomb of Qasim Barid lies to the East of his son Amir Barid's unfinished tomb.[4]

Tomb of Amir Barid[edit | edit source]

Amir Barid lies in an unfinished tomb. He began the construction of his tomb, however, he died in 1542 CE before the tomb could be completed.[5]

Tomb of Ali Barid[edit | edit source]

The tomb of Ali Barid was completed in 984 Hijri (1576-1577 CE), three years before his death.[6]

Tomb of Ibrahim Barid[edit | edit source]

The tomb of Ibrahim Barid is a replica of his father Ali Barid's tomb.[7] The tomb is located on a raised platform 6 feet tall.

A two storied gateway leads to the tomb enclosure.

There are several graves within the enclosure, under the shade of mango trees.

Tomb of Qasim Barid II[edit | edit source]

The tomb is to the south of Ibrahim Barid's tomb.[8]

Several other tombs are located on the platform.

Idgah[edit | edit source]

There is an idgah at the eastern end of Qasim Barid's tomb.[9] The idgah might have been constructed during the Bahmani period.

Preservation[edit | edit source]

The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the site as a monument of national importance.[10] The complex, along with other sites in Bidar, Gulbarga, Bijapur, and Hyderabad is also listed on the tentative list of the World Heritage Sites.[3]
