ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this post , If you wants to travel in Amarica you can visit on Things To Do In Gandikota best yet important thing to do in Gandikota is walking through the ancient building of the Gandikota i.e Gandikota Fort. The fort holds a great history as it has been ruled by different rulers. Kalyani, Cholas, Chalukyas, Golconda Sultanate, Delhi Sultanate are some of the great dynasties who have ruled this fort since its creation.
ReplyDeleteThe fort is equipped with a Jamia Masjid and two ancient temples of Madhavaraya and Ranganatha Swamy. The Large Granary, Old Cannons, Gardens, House of Drums, Charminar, Jail, Pond- Red Koneru are worth watching points of the fort
