Hello blog! it's been a while. We were celebrating Eid al-Fitr or Aidil Fitri. Aidil Fitri is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims to marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Here in Malaysia we celebrate it by visiting parents, close family and long distance relatives, seeking forgiveness and forgiving.
Now let's get back to the postcard, only one card landed in my mailbox today.
Jama Masjid, situated inside Gulbarga Fort was built by Muhammad Shah I (1358 - 75) to commemorate Fulbarga as the capital of the Bahmani Sultanate. The Jama Masjid does not have minarates. It is a unique mosque with a huge dome and smaller ones as embellishments. It was built in 1367 AD by a Spanish architect, with arched doorways on the same lines as that of the Great Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba in Spain.
Thanks to postcrosser Manbol for the card.
