Historic site in Karnataka, India

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]
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]
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]
The Tomb of Qasim Barid lies to the East of his son Amir Barid's unfinished tomb.
Tomb of Amir Barid[edit]
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.
Tomb of Ali Barid[edit]
The tomb of Ali Barid was completed in 984 Hijri (1576-1577 CE), three years before his death.
On the platform to the southwest of the tomb are 67 graves, belonging to the concubines of Ali Barid.
Tomb of Ibrahim Barid[edit]
The tomb of Ibrahim Barid is a replica of his father Ali Barid's tomb. 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]
The tomb is to the south of Ibrahim Barid's tomb.
Several other tombs are located on the platform.
There is an idgah at the eastern end of Qasim Barid's tomb. The idgah might have been constructed during the Bahmani period.
Preservation[edit]
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]
