Bijapur

Bijapur

India
 city, northern Karnataka (Karnātaka) state, southern India. An important site of medieval Indian Islamic architecture, it was formerly called Vijayapura (“City of Victory”) and was an important community under the Yadava dynasty (Yādava Dynasty) for more than a century until 1294, when it became a provincial capital of the Bahmanī sultanate. In 1489 with the advent of Yūsuf ʿĀdil Shah, the first ʿĀdil Shāhī (Ādil Shāhī dynastyʿ) sultan, its dominions grew to include Goa, where a navy was maintained. Although defeated in 1686 by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the ʿĀdil Shāhī dynasty left a legacy of outstanding Islamic buildings, aesthetically the most satisfactory of the Deccan styles, including the domed tomb of Gol Gumbaz and the mausoleum of Ibrahim Rawza. The contemporary city has major road and rail facilities and an expanding tourist economy. Industries include cotton ginning, oilseed milling, and the related manufacture of soap, chemicals, and dyes. Bijapur's colleges of commerce, science, and arts are affiliated with Karnatak University in Hubli-Dharwad. Pop. (2001) 228,175.
