How To Reach Asar Mahal

Bijapur, Karnataka, India
Details: The Asar Mahal was built by Mohammed Adil Shah in 1646 to serve as a Hall of Justice. However, it later gained immense religious significance as it became a repository for two hairs from the beard of the Prophet Muhammad. This dual identity makes it both a historical palace and a sacred mos que. The building sits on the eastern edge of the citadel and faces a large square tank that was once used for ablutions. One of the most distinctive features of Asar Mahal is its massive wooden pillars that support the front portico, a departure from the typical stone arches found in the city. The upper floor contains rooms that were once decorated with elaborate Persian-style frescoes, though many have faded over time. Access to certain areas, especially where the relics are kept, is restricted, and women are traditionally not allowed inside the main building. The atmosphere at Asar Mahal is one of quiet devotion and historical mystery. In front of the building, three interconnected tanks provide a cooling effect to the surrounding area. It remains a focal point for the local Muslim community, especially during the annual Urs festival. :
