Golconda Fort is a fortified citadel built by the Qutb Shahi dynasty (1512–1687) as the capital of the Golconda
Sultanate, located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Because of the vicinity of diamond mines, especially Kollur Mine, Golconda flourished as a trade center of large diamonds,
known as the Golconda diamonds. The region has produced some of the world's most famous
diamonds, including the colorless Koh-i-Noor; the blue Hope; the pink Daria-i-Noor; the white Regent; the Dresden
Green; and the colorless Orlov, Nizam, and Jacob, as well as the now lost diamonds Florentine
Yellow, Akbar Shah, and Great Mogul. It was initially called Shepherd’s Hill. According
to legend, a shepherd boy came across an idol on this rocky hill. [citation
needed] The information was conveyed to the ruling
Kakatiya king, who constructed a mud fort around this holy spot. After 200
years, Bahamani rulers took possession of the fort. Under the Bahmani
Sultanate, Golconda slowly rose to prominence. Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk, sent by the Bahmanids as a governor at Golconda,
established the city as the seat of his government around 1501. Bahmani rule
gradually weakened during this period, and Sultan Quli formally became
independent in 1518, establishing the Qutb Shahi
dynasty based in Golconda. Over a period
of 62 years, the mud fort was expanded by the first three Qutb Shahi sultans
into the present structure, a massive fortification of granite extending around 5 km in circumference. It remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until
1590, when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad. The Qutb Shahis expanded the fort, whose 7 km outer wall enclosed the city.

worked in the Indian
Medical Service for 25 years. It was during his service that

The Buddha
statue of Hyderabad is a monolith located in India.
It is the world's tallest monolith of Gautama Buddha, erected on Gibraltar Rock
in the middle of Hussain Sagar. The government of Andhra
Pradesh, led by N. T. Rama Rao, was ousted in 1989. By the next
year, the statue was ready for erection. ABC Limited, a local company, was
given the responsibility of transferring the statue onto the concrete platform.
Using a trailer vehicle, the statue was brought to the shore of Hussain Sagar.
On 10 March 1990, company workers shifted the statue on top of a barge. After
traveling only 100 yards, the statue tipped and fell into the lake. The
accident killed 10 people. After a two-year salvage operation, the statue was
pulled out of the lake. On 1 December 1992, the statue was installed on
the platform successfully. In 2006, the Dalai Lama consecrated the statue
after performing a ritual.

Kala Thoranam, also called Warangal Gate, is a historical arch in
the Warangal district of the Indian state of Telangana. The Warangal Fort has four ornamental
gates, which originally formed the gates to the destroyed great Shiva temple,
which are known as the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam, or Warangal Gates. The architectural
feature of these historical arches of the Warangal Fort has been adopted as the
symbol of the Kakatiya Dynasty and
has been officially incorporated as the emblem of Telangana for
the state of Telangana. These gates or arches in the Warangal Fort are
said to have similarities with gateways of the Sanchi Stupa; this fact has been
endorsed by many. The arch was built around the 12th century during the rule of the
Kakatiya dynasty. The monument was included in the "tentative
list" of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The monument was submitted by the Permanent Delegation of India to UNESCO on
10/09/2010.
