Located in Bijapur
is the marvellous cenotaph of Afzal Khan. It is believed that Afzal Khan
started the construction of his own tomb in his lifetime.
But eventually he could not be buried there. Close by, on a large masonry
platform are eleven rows of graves adding upto sixty-four, where his wives
lay buried.
Near the graves is an old well in which they are said to have met their
tragic end. One of his wives, however, managed to escape and hence there
is one empty grave.
