Travel: Bijapur - Tanga ride through historical monuments on 23-Feb-2014

Bijapur fort (Vijapur kote) is located in Bijapur city, Karnataka. The fort has a plethora of historical monuments of architectural importance built during the rule of Adil Shahi dynasty. The Adil Shahi Sultans who ruled for nearly 200 years in Bijapur had expended their utmost authority, almost exclusively, on architecture and the allied arts. Each Sultan endeavored to excel his predecessor in the number, size, or splendor of building projects. As a result, the buildings seen in and around Bijapur fort and the town have been rightly called as the Agra of South India. See here for more photos.
