Ahmad Shah I Wali
Ahmed Shah Al Wali Bahamani ruled the Kingdom of
Bidar from 1422 to 1436 and was a great patron of arts
and culture.[1] He brought artisans from Iran, including
the metal-worker Abdulla-bin-Kaiser, who was the father
of bidriware, the inlaying of zinc alloy with silver and
gold.[2]
Ahmed Shah’s, and his empress’s, tomb is located in
Ashtur village, Bidar District,[1][3] and is the subject of an
annual urs, or anniversary of death festival.[1][4]
