Ibrahim Rauza was built in 1627, contains the tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah II and his queen Taj Sultana. It is a fine square structure with twin buildings with delicate carvings and was designed by the Persian architect, Malik Sandal (his grave also lies in the courtyard). It is said that this tomb provided the inspiration for building the Taj Mahal at Agra.
The inner perimeter of the Mausoleum has well crafted arches. The outer walls of the tomb have panels displaying beautiful decorations and intricate geometric and calligraphic patterns in the form of shallow relief. The windows and doors also have similar motifs, which allow light to penetrate into the tomb chamber.
In the prayer hall in the mosque, there are two chains carved out of a single rock.
