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. - [Previous: c17.s3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c17.s3.4) - [Next: c17.s3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c17.s3.6) - [Up: c17.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c17.s3) ## Cites (2) - [Gol Gumbaz](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.monument.gol-gumbaz) - [Asar mahal](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.monument.asar-mahal) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c17.s3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.joshi-1981.c17.s3.5) · Pramāṇa
