Explanation

Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur (built in 1656 for Muhammad Adil Shah) has the second-largest dome in the world by area and one of the largest unsupported domes ever built. Its dome spans approximately 38 meters in diameter and creates a remarkable whispering gallery where even faint sounds echo clearly.
