🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️
-THE ISLAND LIFE-
Daulatabad Fort, built in the 12th century by the Yadava dynasty, is carved from solid rock and rises 50 meters above the ground.
Its entrance, accessible only by a narrow bridge, is protected by curved walls and false doors designed to confuse invaders.
Surrounded by a water-filled moat, it is said that crocodiles were once kept in ancient times to reinforce its defenses.
This fortress stands as an outstanding example of defensive engineering and strategic vision.
Daulatabad Fort
At a distance of 16 km from Aurangabad railway station, Daulatabad is an ancient hill fort situated on the route from Aurangabad to Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. It is one of the best preserved heritage sites in Maharashtra, as well as one of the best tourist spots in Aurangabad.
The historic triangular fort of Daulatabad was built in 1187 by the Yadava king Bhillama V. It is one of the best historical places near Pune. Then this city was called ‘Devagiri’ which means Hill of Gods.
The name Daulatabad or ‘abode of wealth’ was given by Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq when he made his capital here in 1327. The region and the fort fell to the Bahamani rulers under Hasan Gangu in 1347 and to the Nizam Shahis of Ahmednagar in 1499. A.D. In 1607, Daulatabad became the capital of the Nizam Shahi dynasty.
The fort passed through many hands, captured and recaptured by the Mughals, Marathas, Peshwas and finally held by the Nizams of Hyderabad in 1724 until independence. It is one of the most visited places as part of Aurangabad tour package.
Daulatabad Fort was one of the most powerful forts of medieval times. Built on a conical hill 200 meters high, the fort was protected by a moat and a glacier. The fortification consists of three surrounding walls with bastions at regular intervals. The moat is 40 feet deep with mechanical drawbridges and full of crocodiles.
The entire fort complex has an area of approximately 94.83 hectares. A combination of hill and land forts divided into small areas surrounded by fortified walls. The plan of the fortified Amberkot is for the general public. In the Mahakot area, the residential area was available for the upper class of the society due to the walls on four sides. Kalakot is a royal residential area with a double line of fortifications.
