The Daulatabad Fort–A Dangerous Death Trap. Posted by Hari Narayana. Asymp; 12 Comments. Why were forts built? Was it for showing prominence?

Malkhed Fort–Gulbarga District – Karnataka. Posted by Hari Narayana. Asymp; 5 Comments. It is somehow a surprising fact of Indian History that dynasties which were, at one time the greatest and path breakers have vanished in oblivion just like that.

Rangin Mahal literally means The Colored Palace , and this name was apparently given to it on account of its walls being originally decorated with tiles of different hues, traces of which still exist. It was. Access to the building is now obtained by two flights of steps which lead to a landing from which, by passing through some rooms, the interior of the palace is reached. One of the rooms opens on a verandah which i...
