Bayana
The Lady of Gold
Until the Mughal period historians of Muslim India hardly mention ladies, as it was considered discourteous, and even then only a handful of noble women were deemed worthy of mention. A secluded lady was of concern only to the man of the house. There was Sultan Raḍiya, Īltutmish's daughter, who succeeded to the throne and enjoyed a degree of freedom during Turkish rule in India, but was killed, accused of an illicit relationship with a black slav…
Muslim Architecture of South India
This book reinterprets the Muslim architecture and urban planning of South India, looking beyond the Deccan to the regions of Tamil Nadu and Kerala - the historic coasts of Coromandel and Malabar. For the first time a detailed survey of the Muslim monuments of the historic ports and towns demonstrates a rich and diverse architectural tradition entirely independent from the better known architecture of North India and the Deccan sultanates. The bo…
The legacy of Islam in Somnath
Since the sack of Somnath by Maḥmūd of Ghazna in 1025-26, Somnath has been a byword for religious orthodoxy, intolerance and conflict between Muslims and Hindus. Yet looking further than Maḥmūd's greed for the temple's gold and later the Delhi sultans' appetite for territory, Somnath and most other towns of Saurashtra had long-established settlements of Muslims engaged in international maritime trade. The settlers, while adhering to their own val…
The Mosques of Bayana, Rajasthan, and the Emergence of a Prototype for the Mosques of the Mughals
Bayana’s political autonomy during the sultanate history of Delhi is reflected in its architectural monuments, particularly the mosques. The town, built by Muhammad b. Sām’s governor Bahā al-dīn Tughrul, has preserved his late 12th century mosque, which together with its early 14th century extension was praised by Ibn Battūta, but it is the later mosques which show a pattern of continuous independence in architectural style. When in the 14th and …
The Island of Diu, its Architecture and Historic Remains
Diu, unlike many ex-Portuguese colonies in India, preserves a variety of cultural and historical edifices of many communities. While impressive churches create landmarks and Portuguese houses give the narrow lanes and urban and village squares a Mediterranean flavour, the legacies of Hindus, Muslims, and Zoroastrians are also evident in the island. In the authors' ongoing project of recording the historic remains of Diu to provide a comprehensive…

A History of Bayana Part II
The second part of the history of Bayana discusses the changing role of the town and its region following Tīmūr's invasion, when the fragmentation of the power of the Delhi sultanate allowed the Auhadīs—the local rulers of Bayana—to assert their independence. Under the Lodīs, the Jalwānīs rose briefly to prominence. Chosen by Sikandar Lodī as his capital, Bayana gradually declined after his decision to move to Agra. Bayana's lack of water, an ear…
A History of Bayana Part 1
For the sultans of Delhi control of Bayana in eastern Rajasthan was a key to securing their southern territories from the local Hindu rajas. The first part of the study here sets out the history from inscriptions, standing monuments, and contemporary texts. It looks beyond the fort and town and establishes the boundaries of the region, its resources and the ethnic origin of its Muslim population. The second part is planned to present the history …

The Portuguese Fort of Diu
“The Towne and llande of Diu lyeth distant from the ryver Indo 70. miles under 21. degrées, close to the firme land: in times past it belonged to ye King of Cambaia, in whose land an coast it lyeth, where the Portingals by negligence of the Kinge, have built a fortresse, and in processe of time have brought the Towne and the whole Iland under their subiection, and have made it very strong; and [in a manner] invincible, which fortresse hath béene …
The Zoroastrian fire temple in the ex-Portuguese colony of Diu, India
The ex-Portuguese town of Diu on the island with the same name off the south coast of Saurashtra, Gujarat, is one of the best-preserved and yet least-studied Portuguese colonial towns. Diu was the last of the Portuguese strongholds in India, the control of which was finally achieved in 1539 after many years of futile struggle and frustrating negotiations with the sultanate of Gujarat. During the late sixteenth and seventeenth century Diu remained…
Tughluqabad, third interim report
An early-fourteenth-century capital of the Delhi sultanate, Tughluqabad is a prototype for the planning of many later cities. The ruins of Tughluqabad represent the extent of the architectural design and engineering skills of the time, while the street layout and other urban features remain as the earliest existing example of Indo-Muslim urban planning and its architectural components. In this report the survey of the major fortified gates with t…
The Karao Jāmi' Mosque of Diu in the Light of the History of the Island
The Dark Gate, the Dungeons, the royal escape route and more
Tughluqabad, situated 18 kilometres south-east of New Delhi, is the oldest surviving sultanate town in India. It was built by Sultan Ghiyāth al-dīn Tughluq between 1320 and 1323, and its well preserved walls, its street layout and the remains of its buildings provide us with the earliest existing example of Indo-Muslim urban planning and its architectural components. The town was designed by Ahmad b. Ayāz, an Anatolian architect and a nobleman of…
The town of Cochin and its Muslim heritage on the Malabar coast, South India
In South India Cochin is well known for its Jewish settlement, but the rich Muslim heritage of the town has so far remained almost unknown. A reason for this anonymity lies perhaps in that the Muslim community of Cochin – unlike that of Calicut – while highly influential in the commerce of the region, kept a low profile with regard to political affairs, at least from the time of the appearance of the Portuguese. Cochin, situated at 9° 58′ N and 7…

Sasanian Royal Emblems and Their Reemergence in the Fourteenth-Century Deccan
Tughluqabad, the earliest surviving town of the Delhi sultanate
Tughluqabad is the first of many sultanate and Mughul towns which were purposely planned and constructed on previously uninhabited sites. Built early in the fourteenth century, Tughluqabad was to serve as the capital of the newly established Tughluq dynasty. There were, of course, three earlier Muslim capitals in the vicinity, the first the Delhi of Rāi Pithūrā, converted to an Islamic town after the Ghurid conquest in 588/1192-3; the second Jalā…

Architecture of the Sultanate of Ma'bar in Madura, and other Muslim Monuments in South India
During the fourteenth century on the Travancore coast of South India an independent Muslim sultanate was established which lasted for less than half a century, and was eventually terminated by the newly established neighbouring kingdom of Vijayanagar. The short, brutal and enigmatic period of this sultanate has attracted the attention of a number of modern scholars who have tried to put together its history through study of the coins, a few inscr…

The shrine of Imām-i Kalān in Sar-i Pul, Afghanistan
When in 1857 Ferrier reported a rock relief, apparently Sasanian, in the region of Sar-i Pul in North Afghanistan, he left us with an enigma which is still unsolved and which has for over a century remained a subject of intense discussion for specialists. The intrepid scholars who searched around the remote and often inaccessible rocky mountains of the area found no trace of the rock relief, but A. D. H. Bivar, while searching for the relief in 1…
The Sasanian caravanserai of Dayr-i gachīn, south of Ray, Iran
Numerous Arab geographers and Persian literary texts refer with a variety of detail to an important desert caravanserai known as Dayr-i gachīn (Ar. Dayr al-jiss), situated to the south of Ray. The word dayr, meaning in Arabic 'monastery', or perhaps 'hospice', seems a natural term for a caravanserai. That the term could also mean a domed building and a fire temple is suggested by both the Burhān-i qāti' and the Farhang-i Ānandrāj. The Burhān-i qā…
Monuments of the Early Caliphate at Dārzīn in the Kirmān region (Iran)
Dārzīn is a village located on the main road eastward from Kirmān to Bam, at the point where the branch road diverges to Jīruft (Fig. 1). East of the present village there stand a number of ruined mud-brick buildings of interesting form and ground plan, surrounded by a substantial spread of Islamic pottery containing a fair proportion of slip-painted ware. The latter fabric suggests settlements at least as early as the Sāmānid period. In 1977 the…
The monuments at the Kuhandiž of Herat, Afghanistan
The site of the Kuhandiž in Herat is known to scholars because of the two shrines located there. It was first reported by Ferrier, who gave the traditional name of “Thaleh-bengy”, and suggested that it was an artificially raised mound and that it was the site of ancient Herat. He does not give the name as Kuhandiž, nor does he speak of the shrines there, but the location he gives for the site, between the Musalla and the city, corresponds with th…
