Gumbaz - Located at a mere distance of 15 KM from Mysore, Gumbaz was built by Tipu Sultan in honour of his parents. The mausoleum was built in 1784 AD and it is 20 metres tall. It imitates the intricate architecture of Golconda Fort in Hyderabad. Gumbaz is surrounded by a well-maintained garden called Lalbagh Garden at the centre of which Gumbaz stands on an elevated platform. The platform’s veranda is beautified by minarets constructed of black granite. The extraordinary carvings on the ivory doors, the artwork on the domes and stone windows are a testament to the brilliant craftsmanship of the bygone era.
