Posthumous portrait of Sultan Ali Adil Shah II

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This posthumous portrait of Sultan Ali Adil Shah II (1656-1672) was the frontispiece for a well-known copy of Gulshan-i Ishq (The Rose Garden of Love), a mathnavi poem written in Urdu by Ali Adil Shah’s court poet, Mian Nusrati, and dedicated to the sultan.

The Ruler is seen on his throne, and in front of him lies a replica of Imam Ali’s split-blade sword, Dhu’l-Faqar. This is a reference to his Shiite faith, an allegiance that bothered the orthodox Great Mughal Aurangzeb and one of the reasons why he conquered the Deccan in 1686, when Bijapur was ruled by Ali’s young son Sikander.

After Aurangzeb’s death in 1707, a new state was founded in Hyderabad in the Deccan, where this manuscript was probably made.
