The second floor of Gagan Mahal was used as a residence for the royal family. The front facade consists of a wide arch flanked by smaller arches. Today, the Gagan Mahal is beautifully restored with a large open space, which serves as a socializing place for locals and tourists.

Anda Masjid
The mosque was built in 1608/09 CE by I'tibar Khan, a noble in the court of Ibrahim Adil Shah II. It is a two-story building following the Indo-Islamic style of architecture. The mosque occupies the first floor and part of the ground floor. The remaining part of the first floor probably served as a sarai. The first floor contains an open terrace surrounded by low parapet. The structure is topped with a central ribbed dome and is flanked by four minarates.
Ali Adil Shah II began building a beautiful structure in 1627 with 12 arches in 12 rows, 12 columns, and 12 storeys tall, so that its shadow would fall on Golgumbaz in the evening. He died before it got completed. Nowadays, the unfinished monument can be visited.
This building was constructed in 1646 by Sultan Mohammed. It served as a justice hall. On the eastern side lies a large water body. There are several ruined structures in the complex. The Asar Mahal functions as a mosque.
