Architectural marvel
Bidar Fort's architectural grandeur is something truly breathtaking to behold. Its layout features a quadrangular layout surrounded by three miles of towering walls and triple moat, providing unparalleled protection in its heyday. In addition, this fortress boasts 37 massive octagonal bastions equipped with metal-welded cannons that added strength to its impregnable defences.
Within the fortified complex lies Bidar's old city, home to monuments and structures from Bahmani times such as Gagan Mahal, Rangin Mahal and Tarkash Mahal that stand out as popular tourist spots. Sultan Ahmad Shah I's renovation efforts resulted in splendid fortifications, grand bastions, ramparts, gates, royal palaces, baths, kitchens, lush gardens, elegant pavilions and serene mosques that add character and architectural splendour.
