At the eastern end of the island
towards the south is Gumbaz or Mausoleum. It was built
by Tipu Sultan for his parents between 1782-84 A.D. Later Tipu was buried here on 5th May
1799 A.D. It is an impressive square tomb chamber surmounted by brick built dome. Open
corridors run black stone pillars. The carved stone windows and doorways with ivory inlaid
doors are fine workmanship. In the verandahs and on the platform are housed the Tombs of
Haider's family members. There is also a mosque in the complex built in Moghal style.
