The Golgumbaz Mosque.

Bijaspur, 07-01-1995. Bijaspur is mostly a muslim city with the gigantic Golgumbaz mosque as its main attraction for tourists. It has one of the largest domes in the world plus the Wispering Gallery. To get to the Wispering Gallery one has got to go up a small winding staircase that ends at the galley at the top of the dome. The echos of the gallery have to be heard to be believed. Unfortunately whole busloads of local tourists and their children scream at the top of their voices hence the nickname "The Bedlam Gallery". A cultural music festival set among temple ruins and taking place at night, offers free and interesting entertainment. We hired a treewheeler rickshaw to get there and found a quiet place on top of a wall with great views of what was happening on stage. The joint we smoked up there got us in a relaxed mood and made the whole experience even more intence.
