A great patron of art and music, Ibrahim Adil Shah II, Ali Adil Shah’s nephew and successor, was a visionary king who sought to bring Hindus and Muslims together. He spoke the local languages, had a Hindu temple built in his palace and composed verses dedicated to Saraswati and Ganpati. He was a disciple of a Sufi saint who lived in nearby Gulbarga and during his long reign of 46 years (1580-1626), Bijapur attracted musicians, dancers and poets from far off lands. It was at Bijapur that the concept of mushaira (gathering of poets) emerged did travelled subsequently to northern India.

I was always under the impression that the mushairas in NI were a north indian phenomenon and that it had no parallel in SI. Turns out they actually started in SI.
