Shepherd's hill - Part 2

Here we come to the part of Why Golconda (Shepherd's hill) fort got its name ! Well, there is a shepherd guy who on his everyday shepherding routing found an idol at the top of this hill and went back to Mauri Rao (then emperor) that it was divine. Later Mauri built this fort as an act of protection, also to pray for the wellness of his people. If you explore enough this fort, there are some secret passages and burrows built for escaping king 🤴 and his family. Even over the history, when the great Aurangzeb led a siege of this fort the last king stayed there escaped through one of these tunnel. Even these tunnels had so much designs in it, with a bit of sunshine and air to provide the lifeline if they choose to hide in it. Definitely an artisitic gem 💎 #indiatravel #hyderabad
