How To Reach Mahammud Gawan Madarsa
Bidar, Karnataka, India
The Mahammud Gawan Madarsa is a renowned, though partially ruined, monument and an architectural masterpiece established in 1472 CE by Mahmud Gawan, a Persian scholar and Prime Minister of the Bahmani Sultanate. Located strategically in the heart of the old city, this madrasa was once a premier Isla mic university and a monumental center of learning, attracting students and scholars from all over the Muslim world, including Samarkand and Khorasan. It served as a residential university, offering free boarding, lodging, and education to hundreds of students, and boasted a vast library containing an estimated 3,000 volumes of manuscripts, classrooms, a laboratory, a mosque, and quarters for teachers and students. The building's magnificent three-story structure was a proud symbol of the Bahmani Sultanate's commitment to education and Persian cultural influence. Unfortunately, the madrasa was severely damaged by a gunpowder explosion during a Mughal siege in 1695, leaving one of its grand minarets and parts of the façade in ruins, but the remaining structure still reflects its former glory and architectural brilliance. It stands today as a Monument of National Importance protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
