To Bhuvangiri fort

We, a group of eleven, had a trip to Bhuvangiri and Warangal on 12 Jan 2008. Bhuvangiri fort is on the way to Warangal. It was built on the top of a very huge rock bed, rather a plateau. To reach the main fort, we had to climb the rock to the top. It was an adventurous journey, although very slippery.

On the way to Bhuvangiri fort

There is a huge natural water tank on the top, so the royals used the concept of water harvesting centuries back!

Then we turned to thousand pillars temple. As it is known, but the current temple does not have so many pillars. The temple was pillaged and ravaged during the reign of Moghul during 17th century. I found the temple compound very dirty without much maintenance.


Kakatiya ruins

The Kakatiya ruins remind you the grandeur, magnificence, splendid of the fort and the might of the Kakatiyas.
