Gulbarga- A gul blooms in the Deccan


When we had to break our journey at this not-so-famous place because of the Telangana rail roko, in the beginning we were not happy. But I liked the place right from the railway station itself when instead of cars and auto rickshaws, we came to our hotel in a Tonga, which is a cart drawn by a horse.

After resting for a while, we went to see the ruined fort. There is a big canon on top of the fort wall. In the background is the Jamia Mosque, a very big mosque where 5000 people can pray together.


The place has also many beautiful tombs and here are two of them.
