cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Gagan Mahal in Vijayapura, A ruined two-storey palace of dark grey-brown stone standing alone on an open lawn, its front dominated by three arches — one enormous central arch flanked by two much smaller ones — with the roof and most of the side walls gone, so the sky shows through the arcade. The scale of the central opening against the ruined walls is the identifying feature
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Jumma Masjid (Jami Masjid) in Vijayapura, A very large mosque of grey basalt set in a walled enclosure, with a wide arcaded courtyard in front of a deep prayer hall of receding arched bays and a single broad, low onion dome over the centre. The corner minarets were never completed and stop short as stubby turrets, which leaves the roofline unusually flat for a mosque of this size
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Taj Bawdi in Vijayapura, A very large rectangular stepwell east of the old city, a broad sheet of still green water sunk below ground level and reached by wide stone steps running down one whole side. The entrance is a tall arch flanked by two octagonal towers, and arcaded chambers run along the walls above the water line
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Mehtar Mahal in Vijayapura, A small, extremely ornate gateway of pale stone, three storeys high and narrow, with two slender minarets rising at the corners. The eaves are carried on rows of finely carved stone brackets and the surfaces are covered in shallow relief carving of a kind normally seen on Hindu temples rather than on Islamic buildings; a small mosque stands behind it

Vijayapura, India
01
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Gagan Mahal in Vijayapura, A ruined two-storey palace of dark grey-brown stone standing alone on an open lawn, its front dominated by three arches — one enormous central arch flanked by two much smaller ones — with the roof and most of the side walls gone, so the sky shows through the arcade. The scale of the central opening against the ruined walls is the identifying feature
Stop one

Gagan Mahal

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack: Three arches, and the sky pouring through the largest of them like water through a cupped hand, like a held breath let go, like — the fact, yes, the fact. Ali Adil Shah I built Gagan Mahal in 1561 inside the citadel of Bijapur, capital of the Adil Shahi sultanate from 1489 to 1686. The ground floor was the Darbar Hall, where the court was heard; the storey above it was where the court slept. He built widely — the Jami Masjid, the Chand Bawdi well. The Kalyani Chalukyas founded the city and named it Vijayapura, city of victory. The roof is gone. The name held.

The corner minarets were never completed and stop short as stubby turrets, which leaves the roofline unusually flat for a mosque of this size
Stop two

Jumma Masjid (Jami Masjid)

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack: Minarets that stop unfinished, cut off mid-thought like a poem abandoned at the fourth line — which I say with sympathy, having abandoned several. Ali Adil Shah I, who reigned from 1558 to 1580, commissioned it, and it rose in 1578 after the Deccan sultanates beat Vijayanagara at Talikota in 1565. It is one of the largest mosques in South India. The prayer hall floor is ruled into bays, one worshipper to each, a page lined for writing. It holds a celebrated copy of the Qur'an written in gold. Left unfinished — and somehow that flatter roofline is the truer ending.

03
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Taj Bawdi in Vijayapura, A very large rectangular stepwell east of the old city, a broad sheet of still green water sunk below ground level and reached by wide stone steps running down one whole side. The entrance is a tall arch flanked by two octagonal towers, and arcaded chambers run along the walls above the water line
Stop three

Taj Bawdi

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack: Green water sunk below the world, and the steps going down to it like a slow held note — I will come back up, I promise. Taj Bawdi was built in honour of Taj Sultana, first wife of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, and it is the largest of the many bawdis that supplied Bijapur with water. The Adil Shahi capital lived off reservoirs, cisterns and stepwells holding the monsoon through the long dry Deccan year. And they built them as public architecture, not as plumbing: the monumental gateway, the two octagonal towers, the arcaded rooms giving shade and cool air to whoever came thirsty.

04
cardio tennis clinics 33004 — Mehtar Mahal in Vijayapura, A small, extremely ornate gateway of pale stone, three storeys high and narrow, with two slender minarets rising at the corners. The eaves are carried on rows of finely carved stone brackets and the surfaces are covered in shallow relief carving of a kind normally seen on Hindu temples rather than on Islamic buildings; a small mosque stands behind it
Stop four

Mehtar Mahal

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack: The smallest things carry the most, as the smallest bird carries the — no. Look up instead. Mehtar Mahal dates from around 1620, in the reign of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, and it is only the gateway to the Mehtar Mosque behind it. It is also reckoned the most delicately worked structure in the city. Deccan craftsmen cut those brackets and minarets in a temple idiom, stone flowering the way it flowers on a Hindu shrine — the Indo-Saracenic fusion the Adil Shahi court patronised. Tiny beside the great mosques and palaces. All the meaning lives on the surface. Say that back to me slowly.

The Vijayapura, India track

Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack

Written for this world alone.

Look into my eyes. You are feeling… thirsty. Verrry thirsty. Good. Now watch the tablet — just the tablet — as it falls into sixteen ounces of water and dissolves… slowly… fizzing… you cannot look away. This is the Nuun Immunity Electrolyte Tablets 80-Pack: eight tubes, eighty servings, and when I snap my fingers you will remember every ingredient. SNAP. Elderberry.

Zinc — 5 mg. Vitamin C — a commanding 200 mg. Turmeric, echinacea, ginger, vitamins A, D and E, and five essential electrolytes, including 100 mg of sodium and 150 mg of potassium, replacing what the third set took from you. Fifteen calories. Vegan. Hot water or cold — the tablet does not resist, and neither will you. Your immune system is getting stronger.

Your hydration is deepening. Deeeeper.

And now, still under, we travel — to Vijayapura, India, city of victory, capital of the Adil Shahi sultans. A city that understood hydration so profoundly it built its waterworks as MONUMENTS: the great Taj Bawdi stepwell, raised in honour of a queen, with a monumental gateway, octagonal towers and cool arcaded rooms where citizens came simply to be near water.

A civilization that hypnotized itself with reservoirs. My people. You will use these tablets everywhere from morning cardio tennis to an afternoon among the domes, and by the way, they are also perfect for a Deccan afternoon among the domes, when the heat is doing half my work for me. You are getting culturally curious. The local Karnataka lunch thali afterwards is not optional.

When I snap my fingers, you will wake, refreshed, and take the tour. SNAP.
