Bidar Fort, 15th-century fortification in Bidar district, India
The fort extends across the Bidar plateau at 670 meters elevation, featuring massive walls constructed of red laterite stone and lime mortar.
Sultan Ahmad Shah I relocated the Bahmanid dynasty capital from Gulbarga to Bidar in 1427 and initiated the construction of this defensive structure.
The fort complex contains thirty monuments including the Rangin Mahal, the Takht Mahal throne room, and multiple religious structures like the Jami Masjid.
Visitors can access the fort through nearby Bidar Airport or take a longer journey from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, 130 kilometers away.
The fort utilizes an advanced water management system called karez, consisting of underground canals that transport groundwater to the surface.
