Siddhaganga |
|
| |
| Originally built by Raja Gulchand
and later fortified by Ala-ud-din Bahman, the fort contains
large buildings, mosques, temples, stables, ammunition
dumps, carriages, 15 towers, 26 guns, and several beautiful
courtyards. The piece-deresistance of the sprawling fort
is the 38,000 sq. ft. Jumma Masjid with its elegant domes
and arched columns reminiscent of the great mosque of
Cordoba in Spain. The crumbling ruins of Gulbarga Fort
transport you to Karnataka’s glorious past, when
kingdoms fell and others rose from their ashes. The Sultan
Hasan’s tomb, the tomb of Ghias-ud-din, the fine
mausoleum of Feroze Shah and family, the Haft-Gumbaz outside
the city, and Gulbarga’s many elegant mosques are
also worth seeing. |

Shivaganga |
|
| |
| This four-faced hill (1368 mts.)
resembles a Nandi from the east, a Ganesha from the west,
a linga from the south and a cobra from the north. An
arduous climb takes you to the two main shrines, Gavi
Gangadhareshwara Cave Temple and Honnadevi Temple. You
can stop to rest midway between the two at Patalaganga,
a natural spring. |
