Bijapur

city, northern Karnataka 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 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 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.
