View of the Bukhari Mosque showing the Oopree Boorj or Hyder Burj on the far left, Beejapore (now Bijapur), India

Date:

March - April 1855

Description:

- Fergusson has misidentified this building. The photograph shows the Bukhara Mosque pictured from within its enclosure. The photographer was facing north west. As Fergusson states-to the left of the mosque is the Oopree Boorj or Hyder Burj. This is consistent with the placing of the Bukhara Masjid.
