Fort
Penukonda- A dying Medieval Fort
This city was second capital of Vijay Nagar Emipre in early 16th century. Barring a few smaller monuments in the city at bottom of the fort hill such as Gagan Mahal, Parshwanath temple, Thimmarasu jail and Syed Fakruddin grave , the main fort for which Penukonda is known on Andhra Pradesh Tourism map is utterly neglected. I think no tourist with family can reach the fort as there is mud road and even auto can not reach before 4 Km from Lakshmi Narayan temple and main fort. Very difficult to get guide here.

Kotla (Fort) Firuz Shah- Day 3 at Delhi
Kotla Firuz Shah is designated in history as Delhi’s fifth City. After seeing Purana Quila I came out and visited Khair-ul- Manazil Mosque (by Akbar) and Sher Shah gate in front of Purana Quila (Actully these two were part of Purana Quila).; I asked the auto to head to Kotla Firuz Shah (3 kilometers away) which is a 200 years […]
