Techniques for Water.... Water for Life...

What you see is a lift-irrigation point, which used to be the main water resource for the Royal township.. The tall structure houses a huge pulley on the top, through which water from the well (found on the right side bottom of the structure) is lifted up in wooden barrels and brass vessels being towed up by elephants on the left-side of the structure..

From the Ruins of The Bidar Fort, built and once ruled as a branch of Kakatiya Kingdom, later taken over by Mughals of Aurangabad, local Bahmanis (for the majority period), AsafJah's of Gulbarga and finally by the Wadiyars of Mysore.

Rich architectural beauty built in the 12-13 centuries, full of Persian Architecture with wise underground water management system (Karez), huge beam-less structures and intelligently designed / planned security practices.

Thanks to the superior stone-mortar combination for being able to keep alive the antiquity for centuries, in-spite of the invasions by the yesteryear ambitious emperors and current day wall  scribblers.

A Must-Visit for the Heritage and archaeology lovers.
