Bidar Fort
Built in the 15th century, Bidar Fort is one of the most imposing structures in Karnataka. It is situated around 40 Km from Gulbarga and is adjacent to Manjira river Valley. Bidar fort served to the Bahamani Kingdom from 1428-1489. The fort was then captured by Aurangazeb and remained under the Mughal rule till 1724. Different sections of the fort, were constructed by different rulers like the captivating front gate was built by Ahmad Shah Wali whereas the inner fort was built by Mohammad Shah. There are different palaces inside the fort, the most impressive being, the Rang Mahal. The palace has exquisitely carved wooden pillars and magnificent inlay work. Though in ruins, the huge red rock walls still narrate the story of its brilliant and glorious past.
