Chaubara, Historic watchtower in Bidar district, India
The cylindrical Chaubara tower reaches 22 meters in height and features a circular base measuring 55 meters in perimeter with arched niches along its circumference.
The watchtower dates back to the Bahmani period when Ahmad Shah constructed it alongside other fortifications to monitor the surrounding plateau and lowlands.
The tower served multiple functions in society, including as a central location for announcing royal decrees and administering justice during historical periods.
Visitors can climb the winding staircase of 80 steps through the eastern entrance to reach the observation point at the summit of the tower.
Four rectangular openings in the tower walls allow natural light and air circulation, while a 1.1-meter parapet crowns the structure's summit.
