Bidar Fort

  Bidar Fort is an exemplary symbol of the Bahmani Dynasty, built by Sultan Alla-Ud-Din Bahman. Constructed in Persian architectural style, the fort complex houses an old city comprising over 30 structures, including the Rangin Mahal, Gagan Mahal, Takhat Mahal etc.

  The old city of Bidar is said to be the home of Vidur, the uncle of the Pandavas in the story of Mahabharat. However, it saw prosperity during the middle ages as the capital and seat of power of the Bahmani dynasty. As per that folklore, the glorious fort has a colourful past and has seen the rise and fall of a good many ruling families of South India - Satvahanas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Kakatiyas and Yadavas are the more known names among them.
