Nirmala Garimella 03/23/2006 Standing on a pyramid - shaped hill, is this impressive fortress, once known as 'Devgiri'. Built in the 12th century by Bhillama, the king of the Yadav dynasty, it was named _______ the city of fortune, by Mohammed Bin Tughlaq, Sultan of Delhi. The Sultan was so taken with this fortress, that he decided to shift his capital here. A 5 km massive wall, artificial scarping, spiked gates, dungeons and a variety of complicated defence systems rendered this fort impregnable. The 30 metre high Chand Minar, built by the Bahmani rulers is another famous landmark of the area. ![]() You may also access this article through our web-site http://www.lokvani.com/ |
