 Bidar
Fort
Catch a glimpse of Karnatakas richly textured history in this rugged 15th
century fort surrounded by a triple-moated wall hewn out of red rock, with
intricate battlements and an imposing gateway. The crumbling ruins of the
bastions and gates, royal baths and kitchens, audience halls and pleasure
pavilions stand as silent testimonies to Bidars past glory. The Rang
Mahal has elaborately carved wooden pillars, Persian couplets engraved in
tiles and exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay work. A leisurely stroll through
the streets of Bidar take you to the Madrassa of Khwaja Mahamud Gawan, an
Islamic seminary built by Khwaja Mahamud Gawan, a prime minister of the
Bahmani court, and the Chaubara, a 71 ft. high tower in the heart of the
city. From here, move on to Ashtur, to see the Bahmani Tombs whose
interiors are adorned by carefully preserved medieval Muslim paintings.
