Hello everyone, how are you all? hope you all are doing well and i am too. Its been so many days i am not doing regular posts and away from hive because i had very busy schedule and i am going to share the places that i went and i enjoyed.
Today i would like to share the places i have visited. First one is the Kondareddy fort or its called Kondareddy buruju which is situated in kurnool which is a place in Andhrapradesh state in India.
I went there with my juniors during night time and people are not allowed to go inside it. Later after going there came to know its allowed and i am seeing people who are inside it and climbed the fort.
These are the images that i have taken -
This is the front view of the fort and during night time lights will be turned on and it looks so beautiful
while going up to the first floor i have taken another pic as side view of it and the greenery and lights combined looks so beautiful.
You can see the lights are arranged on either side of staircase and the height of the steps are more than normal steps that we will see in our house.There are made of very hard stones.
After reaching 1st floor i have seen these dome shaped things and with space in it
You can see the dome shaped or parabola shaped construction here
I have seen this dome with one entry gate on its side which is locked and it leads to a tunnel. There is a story behind this gate that kondareddy who was kept here as prisoner and he escaped from the fort by travelling through this gate which leaded into a tunnel and he came outside near tungabhadra named river
This is another entry gate for tunnel. Now people are not allowed to enter into this tunnel.
Then after i went 2nd floor of the fort through these high steps
and now i finally seen these dome shaped or parabola shaped things which are arranged parallel to each other cicumferentially around the fort. There is a hole or gap in center of each one which i think is used to keep gun and shoot through it so that they can be protected from enemies and will be able to shoot through that gap.
After that i have reached top of the fort i have seen this pillar and space where people are standing at one edge and viewing the city.
I hope you enjoyed all the beauty of the fort and its construction.
Thanks for reading,
with regards,
