Warangal

Warangal is a district in the State of Telangana in India. The district derives its name from the city of the same name which is also the headquarters of the Warangal district.

It was once the capital of Kakatiya kings of 12th and 13th century. It has been an important urban centre of the Deccan since the eleventh century. The Bahmanis finally captured Warangal in 1366 and later Warangal became part of the Qutb Shahi kingdom.

The old city has an unique circular plan with two concentric circles of fortifications. Most of the buildings are located within the circular shaped fort. The famous entrance portals on four sides are 30 meters (100 feet) high. The Shiva temple of Kakatiya period was centrally located and it is in ruins at present. The only old structure to survive is Kush Mahal attributed to Sitab Khan, alias Sitapati a Hindu chief, and Governor of Warangal under the Bahmanis in the early sixteenth century, but does not belong to the Kakatiya kings.
