Sultan Mohammed Ādil Shah (1626-1656 A.D.) was particularly known for improving the water supply of the city, by digging out a conduit from a different water source namely the Begum Talao (Fig.69) about 6½ km. south of the city. The ruler has been made immortal, because of the construction (Percy Brown, 1962, p.76) of the world famous Gōl-Gumbaz, as also the Asār Mahāl or the hall of Justice, which is sanctified later by depositing the sacred relics of hair of Mohammad the prophet in it.
