Mohammadan Tomb and Darga

Y

et another set of monuments standing in isolation. The first thing you would notice on approaching this area is two cubical structures, one with a domical roof and the other flat roofed. Both house a few tombs of some important members of the Vijayanagara court or its military.

The whole area looks like an elaborate cemetery reserved for the Muslim elites in the Vijayanagara capital. Dozens of tombs, most of them with long monolithic stone tops, can be seen in this locality now partially covered by thorny shrubs.

A stone paved path bisects the cemetery. The large memorials mentioned are made in the typical Deccani Islamic style. The archaeological department has fenced this area and installed a signpost and access gate.

This is located south of the village Kadirampura. This is not at a walk able distance from any of the hubs from which one usually operate. However the access is much easy if you use a moped or bicycle, as it is located next to the main road that connects this village to the Hospet main road.

Another tomb nearby If you are visiting this spot from Hampi, take the right fork of the main road that split in front of the Sasive Kalu Ganesha statue. After a few kilometers of zigzagging through the agriculture fields and the Kadirampura village, the tomb structures are spotted at your right. On the other hand if you operate from Kamalapura, travel towards Hospet town by the road that edges the huge tank. A little over two kilometers from the town, you can see a road branching towards your right. A large archway is an unmistakable landmark. Take the right turn and go through the archway. About a kilometer from this point, you can spot the tombs at the left side of the road.

When you hire an auto rickshaw to/from Hampi, they usually skip Kamalapura village square and travel via Kadirampura village mentioned above. In this case too you can spot these structures on the road side

The north end of the road via Kadirampura village merges with the Hampi main road near the Krishna Temple.
