Jami Mosque of Gulbarga was built by Muhammad I (1358-75) to commemorate Gulbarga as the capital of the Bahmanid Sultanate.

• It is a rare example of an Indian mosque without a courtyard as the entire structure is covered with a roof. 
• The style is neither Persian nor Indian, but both are amalgamated so as both can be unidentifiable.
• A minaret, typically associated with mosques, is absent. 
• The interior of the mosque was the result of experimentation with the span of arches. The arches have a very wide span and are support on short imposts. These unconventional 'stretched' arches later became a characteristic of Deccani architecture.
• The corners are marked by domes. The west bay is spacious and covered in the center with a high dome, which is surrounded by twelve smaller domes. 
• The entire roof is covered by small domes arranged in seven rows.
• The dome is supported on the clerestory by means of squinches, some of the arches being gracefully foliated.
• The style of this mosque did not find favor in India, though it may have inspired in a limited way the design of the Kali Masjid and Khirki Masjid built in Delhi shortly afterward.
