Gumbaz is the tomb and mosque built by Tipu Sultan as a tribute to his illustrious father, Hyder Ali (1722-1784 A.D.), after his death.
The Gumbaz is situated at the eastern extreme of Srirangapatna. It enshrines the cenotaphs of Hyder Ali,his wife Fakr-Un_Nisa and Tipu Sultan, after his death in 1799 A.D. It is built on a stone plinth, with polished black granite pillars that run along the corridor around the inner chamber.A magnificent dome crowns the building. The chamber is painted with the tiger stripes that were associated with Tipu.
The structure, laid out amidst a garden, typical of Islamic architecture, also houses the Masjid-E-Aksa.
At the eastern entrance of the Mausoleum is a tablet in Persian script that speaks of the martyrdom of Tipu Sultan in 1799 A.D.
There are numerous other cenotaphs of the relatives of Tipu's family.

Thank you for the brief and pecise information on the tomb which houses the remains of two of the most brave and able monarchs our country has produced.The will power of Tipu Sultan is astonishing as he took on the might of the Emglish East India Company when all the odds were against him and fought till the last with conviction.
