On the occasion of World Heritage Day, I would like to share about the famous monument. which has to be on the list of the world heritage sites,
 |
| GOL GUMBAZ |
Gol Gumbaz at Vijaypur (Bijapur) Karnataka, the name Gol Gumbaz means ''circular dome"
A monument that is popular all over the world, and it is also recognized as the Second Largest Dome in the World, with a diameter of 44 meters. A balcony around the interior of the dome is a point where more number of tourist are attracted, the gallery which is known as the "whisper gallery"
where any sound produced in the gallery will be echoing back a dizzying number of times. because of the structure with huge space and concave walls.
Vijayapura city which is well known for its historical monuments of architectural importance built during the rule of the Adil Shahi dynasty, there are many historical sites, other than Gol Gumbaz like Ibrahim Rouza is the most impressive monument and others like Jama Masjid, Bara Kaman, Gagan mahal. Many architectural sites can be found which are less known.
The city is not only known for the Adil Shahi dynasty, but also we can find many temples in the city, the one which is most famous is located in the heart of the city "SIDDHESHWAR TEMPLE" and there are many more.
The city has good connectivity by Roadways and by Railways, though the city is represented as the city of monuments there are no plans to attract the people from other countries to visit this place, Bijapur is nearby 530km(330mi) from the state capital Bengaluru.
well according to me the air transport facility should be provided in the city as soon as possible by the government this will help the visitors with the ease to get to the city, in same line city will be well developed providing visitors a good service like Hotels, Resorts, etc.
A monument like Gol Gumbaz should be known all around the world, recognizing this monument as a world heritage site will increase the count of tourists visiting this place and get exposure all over the world.
The old city which is surrounded by the fort with watchtowers can be an attraction to the city if we restore them to get a good look for the city and tourists as well as passersby.
I believe in upcoming days our government and local government and respected officials will come up with such plans and try to make the site known to the world and provide the world-class facilities for the people who visit will be explored with cities HISTORY AND CULTURE. and take back good memories
