Srirangapatna Gumbaz, Mausoleum in Mandya district, India

The Gumbaz features a prominent dome rising 20 meters above an elevated platform, supported by black granite pillars within a rectangular garden.

Built between 1782 and 1784, the mausoleum contains the graves of Tipu Sultan, his father Hyder Ali, and mother Fakhr-Un-Nisa on the eastern side.

The interior walls display painted tiger stripe patterns, reflecting Tipu Sultan's identity, while Persian inscriptions detail information about the buried individuals.

Visitors can access the mausoleum from sunrise to sunset without entry fees, with city bus number 316 providing direct transportation from Srirangapatna town.

During Tipu Sultan's burial in 1799, a thunderstorm occurred as British forces conducted the ceremony with full military honors.
