What is a tibari?

Asked by twothecat (394

I think it’s an Indian word and describes something having to do with architecture, but I can’t find a definition of it anywhere. I was looking at a picture of a palace, and it calls a room the “Eastern Tibari” but I would like to know if it means something like ‘chamber’, or ‘tower’.. Does anyone know? Help!!

It’s a geographical location in Sudan.

So I would assume it was named after that or perhaps decorated in a style reminiscent of that area.

That’s my best guess.

There is a city in the equatorial state of Sudan in Africa called Tibari. Maybe the architectural term was referring to something that looks like traditional architecture from that area.

I also saw this photo that describes the place as being the Golden Tibari. Maybe it’s a specific temple or a type of temple.

There’s also a place called Douar-Tibari in Morocco.

It is a room featuring a series of arches with columns such as you see along the sides of the Eastern Tibari of Jal Mahal. This might help you visualize.
