 Gol Gumbaz is the mausoleum of Muhammad Adil Shah II (1627-57) of the Adil Shahi dynasty of Indian sultans, who ruled the Sultanate of
						      Bijapur from 1490 to 1686.
						      The structure consists of a massive square chamber measuring nearly
						      50 m on each side and covered by a huge dome 37.9 m in diameter
						      making it the second largest one in the world which is unsupported by
						      any pillars. The acoustics of the enclosed place make it a whispering
						      gallery where even the smallest sound is heard across the other side
						      of the Gumbaz. At the periphery of the dome is a circular balcony
						      where visitors can witness the astounding whispering gallery. Any
						      whisper, clap or sound gets echoed around 10 times.
						      The ground level samples ring on for a staggering 25 seconds. Gear: DPA 4006 omni directional mics and tannoy speaker. More about this expedition (audio & video). |
