Bara Kaman is the unfinished mausoleum of Ali Adil Shah II in Bijapur, Karnataka in India.
Ali Adil Shah of the Adil Shahi dynasty wanted to build a mausoleum of unmatched quality of architecture. As per the plan twelve arches will be placed vertically as well as horizontally surrounding the tomb of Ali Adil Shah. However due to unknown reason the work on the structure was left incomplete and only two arches were raised vertically. However still, the remains of the twelve arches placed horizontally can be seen. The site is managed by the Archeological Survey of India. It is said that the shadow of this structure would touch the Gol Gombaz Gol Gumbaz. So, It was stopped.
