HistoryEdit
Vijapur is a city and a municipality in Mehsana district in the Indian state of Gujarat and including village of ladol,mahudi and kukarwada.Gol Ghumat It is the most famous monument for which the city is actually famous for. Though the city is in a bad shape, the monument is very well maintained by Archeological survey of India. The tomb is surrounded by beautiful green lawns and trees (phew!! Atleast some greenery comes into existance) famously known as the Moghal gardens. The Moghal rulers were very fond of constructing huge buildings and gardens which depicted the heaven. Morever many say they were actually to show off their wealth. It was a typical example of Moghal architecture.ancient pillars, engravings on the rocks, Persian vessels, artifacts, statues, etc. What was fascinating to me was the map of the city which clearly depicted the twin fortifications.
