Qutub Shahi Tombs

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are the most reliable evidence of the Qutub Shahi dynasty and their architectural traditions. You can find the Qutb Shahi Tombs in the Ibrahim Bagh near the Golconda Fort in Hyderabad, India. They have the tombs and churches the different Qutb Shahi family lords built. The smaller tombs' exhibits are on one story, while the bigger ones are on two levels. In the middle of each grave, a stone coffin on top of the actual burial vault in a sepulcher below. Only a few pieces of the blue and green tiles originally covered the left arches.

History:

Sultan Qali Qutb Mulk built the Qutb Shahi Tombs in 1542 AD. It shows off the grandeur of the Qutb Shahi family line through its medieval building. People treated these tombs with great respect during the rule of Qutb Shah, but no one remembered them until Sir Salar Jung III's reign, bringing them back to people's attention at the start of the 19th century.

Sultan Wali Qutb Mulk was the first to be honored with one of these tombs. His son Jamsheed's tomb was built after that. Interestingly, Jamesheed Shah Qutb's tomb is the only one at Qutb Shahi with no writing.

He then built Sultan Quli Qutb Shah's tomb in 1580 AD. It is a little bigger than Qali Qutb Mulk's tomb. Abul Hasan Qutb Shah started making this last tomb for himself, his relic. Also, the grave of Sultan Quli Qutb Shah's daughter, Fadma Khanum, is the only one that doesn't have a dome. It is next to his tomb.

Architecture:

There are black asphalt, latticed architecture, and Urdu writings on the tombs of the queens and kings of the Qutb Shah Dynasty. As part of their Indo-Islamic design, the tombs hold royal relics and symbols of the family.

The tomb at the entry, which is that of Sultan Qali Qutb Mulk, is the most fantastic piece of building you will ever see. It's a two-story building with a dome and many complicated architectural shapes. Each floor has a small cross that goes with the rest of the building.

The tombs are a mix of Pathan, Persian, and Indian styles. They have beautiful domes on top and tall minarets on the sides. The balconies have balustrades with pineapple patterns cut into them, and the entrance is grand and artistic.

Paintings from the 1600s decorate the entrance to the inside, which protects the culture and art of that time. The high ceiling is very fancy and has lotus flowers, petals, and other intricate designs carved into it. At the entry, there is a museum that shows the history of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty, including their adventures and artifacts that keep customs alive that the people of that time no longer live.

What should you do at Qutb Shahi Tombs?

Before you go to the Qutb Shahi Tombs, there are a few things you should remember to show respect for the culture and avoid offending anyone:

The tombs have delicate designs and sometimes valuable stones carved into them. Refrain from picking out the rocks or trying to write on the walls.

There aren't any restaurants or coffee shops near the tombs, and it would take at least 90 minutes to look around and think about history. So, bring small snacks or a big meal before going to the tomb.

Do not leave trash behind, as this is a culturally important spot. Since there aren't any trash cans nearby, bring a bag to put your wrappers in.

There are no tour guides to show you around and talk about the history and culture of the area, so learn about the tombs by reading about them online or in books.

At the entrance, there is a museum for people who want to learn more about the history of the Qutb Shah Dynasty.

Conclusion:

The Qutub Shahi Tombs are beautiful palaces with a lot of intricate designs. When you're in Hyderabad, you should visit the many tombs of the royal family set out on beautiful grounds. If you can't get to Hyderabad any other time of the year, you might want to go during the "Deccan Festival."
