Ananda Mahal or 'Palace Of Delights' was
built by Adil Shah in 1589 AD.
The two storeyed building which once housed the ladies of the palace has
in its precincts today, a gymkhana club, an inspection bungalow, several
offices and the residential quarters of the assistant commissioner.
Like all monuments in Bijapur, this
palace also stands for the harmonious blend of the past and the present.
