The tomb and mosque stand on a podium which has a length of 360 feet and a width of 160 feet.

Ibrahim Adil Shah II was a secular ruler and a patron of culture and arts. He was from the Adil Shahi dynasty that had its origin in Bijapur. The Ibrahim Roza is a masterpiece of distinct culture that was created for Ibrahim’s resting place.

The beautiful tomb has a main chamber and four minarets (one at each corner), and an dome at the top of the structure.

The tomb is efficiently planned and beautifully decorated with intricate details with Verses from Quran Sharif.

Though the mosque is more compact and smaller than the tomb, however; it stands out due to the harmonious architecture and splendour.

The entrance of the mosque is adorned with elaborated ornamentation with two minars at each of the corners. It is said that if Ibrahim Roza would be made up of marble, its beauty would be close to Taj Mahal if not surpass it.

The architecture is extremely appealing and it is a combination of beauty and grandeur.
