Ahmed Shah Al Wali Bahamani ruled the Kingdom of Bidar from 1422 to 1436. He 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, [3][1] and is the subject of an annual urs, or anniversary of death festival.[1][4]
