Walking into the Bidar Sultanate through the Archways, which contain one of the most interesting antique building technologies.
As understood, the blocks arranged in the arch shape with temporary supports beneath and provided with bonding materials in between like mud or mortar, get interlocked when the temperory supports are removed.
Load falling on the arch from the top is equally distributed on and shared by the the horizontal supporting structures on either sides.
Built in the Persian, Turkish and Deccan architectures out of laterite stone - available and excavated from the surroundings and bonded by Mortar.
