| 説明 | Mandu, Tomb of Darya KhanMandu or Mandavgad is a ruined city in the present-day Mandav area of the Dhar district of western Madhya Pradesh, India. In the 11th century, Mandu was the sub division of the Tarangagadh or Taranga kingdom. This fortress town on a rocky outcrop about 100 km from Indore is celebrated for its fine architecture.The Tomb of Darya Khan stands on a raised platform. Its exterior is faced with red masonry which was once decorated with coloured enamels in various intricate patterns. Near the piers of arches are seen octagonal posts in the traditional style. The most interesting feature of the building, however, lies in the small domes at the center. They remind one of similar domes on the tomb of Hoshang Shah in comparisons to which the domes here are rather clumsy.The main sarcophagus is dedicated to Darya Khan, who was employed in the court of Sultan Mahmud II (AD 1510-26). There are a number of other ruined buildings close by from which, it appears, the area was quite an important one containing gardens and other pleasure house.(source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandu,_Madhya_Pradesh and www.asibhopal.nic.in/monument/dhar_mandu_daryakhanstomb.html) |
