Mithari and Asar Mahals, Bijapur, Karnataka India

This is a very beautiful building in the region of Bijapur and is located close to Jumma Masjid. A richly decorated gateway leads to a three storied building with exquisitely drawn windows and high minarets. In the northern side of this building is the Asar Mahal which stands supported by four pillars. It was constructed to be a hall of justice. There is a step well near the building. Women are not allowed to enter the upper storey which has Persian style decoration but a little bit of persuasion might work. There is an annual festival held at this place which is called urs.
