Golkonda Fort is situated 11 km west of Hyderabad, Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad . Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Golconda, also known as Golkonda or Golla konda (“shepherd’s hill”), a ruined fort of Southern India and capital of medieval Golconda Sultanate (c.1518–1687), One of the most remarkable features of Golconda is its system of acoustics- a hand clap at a certain point below the dome at the entrance reverberates and can be heard clearly at the ‘Bala Hissar’, the highest point almost a kilometre away, palaces, factories, water supply system and the famous ‘Rahban’ cannon, that was used during the last seize of Golconda by Aurangazeb, to whom the fort ultimately fell. There is also supposed to be secret underground tunnel leading from the ‘Durbar Hall’ to one of the palaces at the foot of the hill. The tombs of the Qutub Shahi kings, built with Islamic architecture lie about 1-km north of the outer wall of Golconda. These graceful structures are surrounded by landscaped gardens, and a number of them have beautifully carved stonework. Outside the Golconda Fort are two separate pavilions built on a rocky eminence – the ‘Taramathi Gana Mandir’ and the ‘Premathi Nritya Mandir’ from where the legendary sisters ‘Taramathi’ and ‘Premamathi’ resided. They gave their performance on a circular dais atop a two-storied structure, the ‘Kala Mandir’, which was visible from the king’s durbar (king’s court) on top of the Golconda Fort.THE SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW : A new attraction at the fort is a sound and light show that brings the legend of Golconda to life. With a spectacular interplay of audio and visual effects, the story of Golconda unfolds over centuries of splendour. The show livens up the glorious past and it is an experience worth watching. The show is presented in English, Hindi and Telugu.

HistoryEdit

Golkonda fort
was first built in the 13th century during the Kakatiya dynasty. It was built as a mud fort then. It was in the 16th century under the Qutb Shahi dynasty that it was fortified and a 7 km long outer wall made of granite was built. Golkonda was also a major centre for diamond trade in those days. The Qutb Shahi dynasty controlled the areas of the current East Godavari district. Where the famous Kollur mines were located. It was from here that the most of the biggest diamonds in the world came from. These included the Kohinoor, Darya-e-noor, Regent ‘n Hope diamonds. Before the city of Hyderabad was founded the Deccan was ruled from Golconda fort. Founded originally by the Kakatiya’s in the 13th century the existing structure was expanded by the Qutub Shahi kings into a massive fort with granite walls and ramparts extending some 5-km in circumference. The first three Qutub Shahi kings rebuilt Golconda, over a span of 62 years.

The smaller tombs have single storey and larger tombs have double storey. The stucco ornamentation of Qutub Shahi Tombs can be seen even today but the blue and green tiles, which covered the domes of these tombs, were destroyed with the passage of time.The largest of all Qutub Shahi Tombs is the tomb of Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth king of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. This tomb reaching up to a height of about 42 meters has 28 open arches, a large dome and minarets at its corners. The tombs of Qutub Shahis were once decorated with carpets and chandeliers. Golden spires were used to distinguish the tombs of Sultans from those of nobles and all tombs were given velvet canopies on silver poles. The verses from the Holy Book of Quran were recited in regular intervals. It is said that the criminals who seek shelter in this place were forgiven by the Qutub Shahis. Qutub Shahi Tombs are surrounded by a garden named Ibrahim Bagh that contain ponds and planted pathways. This garden is a popular picnic spot in Hyderabad.
