The Gol Gumbaz, which is famous for its so-called ‘Whispering Gallery’, was built by ____.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Muhammad Adil Shah
The Gol Gumbaz at Bijapur (Vijayapura) in Karnataka is the tomb of Muhammad Adil Shah, the Adil Shahi sultan of Bijapur, completed in 1656. Its dome is one of the largest in the world, and in the gallery round its base a whisper on one side can be heard plainly on the other, which gave it the name ‘Whispering Gallery’.
