Ashtur Royal artistic patronage of the later Bahmanis is best exemplified in the royal and saintly funerary complexes at Ashtur, located a few kilometres east of the Bidar fort. Bahmani rulers and royalty are buried here in a series of mausoleums located in a pleasant grove. In general both the political and artistic environment in Bidar during the later Bahmani rule reflected increased contacts with the Persian and Central Asian world.
