Chaubara

Chaubara is a cylindrical tower measuring 22 meters tall with a circular base approximately 17 meters in diameter. Arched niches line the walls, and four rectangular openings provide light and air flow through the interior.

The tower was built during the Bahmani period when Ahmad Shah constructed it as part of a fortification system to monitor the plateau and surrounding lowlands. It emerged during an era when such structures were essential for controlling strategic territories.

The tower served as a place of authority where important announcements reached the population and decisions affecting daily life were made. Its central position made it a recognizable landmark around which urban life organized itself.

The climb through the eastern staircase with about 80 steps leads to the observation point at the summit. The passage is narrow and requires careful footing, but offers views from the top.

The four rectangular openings in the walls served both practical and defensive purposes, allowing ventilation while enabling monitoring of the surroundings. This dual function shows how utility and defense merged in the structure's design.
