Warangal Fort

Orugallu (Warangal) became the Kakatiya capital in the 13th century. Construction of the fort is associated with Ganapati Deva and was continued by Rani Rudrama Devi. The fort fell to the Delhi Sultanate in the early 14th century.

The fort has concentric rings of earth and stone walls. At its centre are the four ornamental stone gateways known as the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam, surrounded by remains of the Swayambhu Shiva temple and many sculpted panels.

The fort is the symbolic heart of Orugallu and of the United Warangal identity.

Sound-and-light shows have been run here by Telangana Tourism; check current schedules locally.
