HOW MANY WERE YOU ABLE TO IDENTIFY ?
SECRET TUNNELS AND ESCAPE ROUTES.
It is believed that there is a secret underground tunnel which begins at one of the durbar halls and leads to one of the palaces at the bottom of the hill. The route was originally meant as an escape route for the royals, but has never been found since. IT HAS INSPIRED 3 PLACES WITH A SIMILAR NAME IN USA, ONE IN ARIZONA, ONE IN ILLINOIS AND THE OTHER IN NEVADA
WORLD FAMOUS DIAMONDS.
Darya-e Nur, Nur-Ul-Ain Diamond, Kohinoor, Hope Diamond and Regent Diamond have been owned by the sultans of Golconda before they moved out of India.
ANCIENT MADMAN WHO SAVED THE CITY.
Legend has it that a person called Majzoob who was considered to be a mad man , stayed beside the Fateh Darwaza and secured it. At the point when Aurangazab was prepared to overcome the Fort, the presence of this person never permitted them to invade the passage. Only when another officer in the Mughal armed force made him move from that point, was Aurangazed able to attack the fort.
TAALI MAARO MIYAN !
A clap at a fixed place at the entrance can be heard clearly at the ‘Bala Hissar’ pavilion, the highest point almost a kilometre away. This served two purposes – if an intruder got in , it served as a warning . Secondly, it also served as a way for the royals to know they had guests.
THE FORT HAS MAHANKALI TEMPLE ON THE TOP.
The Sri Jagadamba Maha temple atop Golconda is as famous as the fort itself. The king – Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah was so popular among his subjects that he was called Malkabhiram by Hindus.
IT HAS INSPIRED MOVIES LIKE SRI RAMADASU , AMONG OTHERS.
Story has it that Rama Das, a revenue official jailed by Abul Hasan Tanah Shah, for misusing state funds to construct Badrachalam Sri Rama Temple, carved images of Rama, Lakshman and Hanuman on a rock surface in the cell.
Legend has that Lord Rama came in the dreams of Tanah Shah and paid back the debt to release Rama dasu.
