Bijapur and Bidar - India 2006

Ruins and still-intact gems of 15th-17th century Muslim architecture embellish old, dusty Bijarpur like so many tatters of faded sultans' finery. It is a fascinating place to explore, blessed by a wealth of mosques, palaces and fortifications.
Bidar is an old, walled town with a magnificent 19th century fort with the evocative ruins of palaces. It also has huged domed tombs and a madrassa with a few colorful remains of typical Islamic mosaics (From LP)
