TOMB OF HAIDER ALI AND TIPU SULTAN
Rajput
1799

River Kaveri flows by Srirangapatnam, which is 16 km north of Mysore. It was the capital of the Muslim Mysore kingdom, which was at loggerheads with the English and the Mysore king. East of the city is the Gumbaz (tomb) of Tipu Sultan who died fighting the British and his father Haider Ali. The tombs resemble the Golconda tombs.
