Bidar Fort of Karnataka



The Bidar Fort of Karnataka is a 15th century fort and situated in the heart of the garden city of Bangalore. The Bidar Fort of Karnataka stands erect to tell the tale of India's richly textured history of the past. The Bidar Fort in Karnataka is now a rugged fort mainly noted as the tourist's destination in the state of Karnataka.

The Bidar Fort in Karnataka is a beautiful creation of the then ruler of Karnataka which is surrounded by a triple-moated wall. The grand Bidar Fort in Karnataka is constructed out of red rock. The Bidar Fort had an intricate battlement and a baronial gateway. If you ever visit the Bidar Fort, you will get to see the crumbling ruins of the bastions and gates. Other features of the Bidar Fort at Karnataka are the royal baths and spacious kitchens, a large audience hall and wide pleasure-pavilions, all in a state of ruin. But this grand edifice still stands the ravages of time as a silent tribute to the past glory of the Bidar Kingdom.

The Rang Mahal of the Bidar Fort of Karnataka has intricately carved beautiful wooden pillars. You will be amazed to see the wonderful tiles that are engraved with Persian couplets. The exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay work in the Bidar Fort is really worth seeing. There is a Madrassa of Khwaja Mahamud Gawan adjacent to the Bidar Fort at Karnataka. The madrassa is an Islamic seminary constructed by the prime minister of the Bahmani court, Khwaja Mahamud Gawan.
