A short Visit To Rachakonda Fort

                                                    A Short Visit To Rachakonda Fort

its surroundings have lots of memorable places to visit. Rachakonda is one of them. We were bored from our daily routine so wanted to spend our day outside to make it memorable. We started searching for a place where we can go and come back in one day. We shortlisted Rachakonda. Rachakonda is a village with a population of 1300 which is the 7th least populous village, located in the Narayanpur sub-district of yadadri Bhuwangiri district in the state Telangana in India. The nearest town of the village is Nalgonda and the distance from Rachakonda village to Nalgonda is 65 km. Rachakonda is famous because of its ancient memories. It reminds us of the 14th century. It has an old fort which on the name of this place "Rachakonda Fort".
We started at about 09:30 AM because it is approximately 55.5 km from Hyderabad and reached there by 11:20 AM. We got some traffic on the way also. There is no route for Bus services or train service to the fort. You can only go by cab or your car. Cabs will charge you about Rs.1,000-Rs.2,000. We had our car so we went in our car. Rachakonda Fort was constructed by the Padmanayak in the 14th century AD. Till that time the padmanayakas had their capital at Anumagallu. At around 1360 AD the capital was shifted by Anapotanayaka from Anumagallu to Rachakonda where he built a strong fort. Anapotanayaka split the kingdom into two for administrative Convenience and his brother Madanayaka ruled from Devarakonda was subservient to Rachakonda. The Padmanayakas lost control of Rachakonda in 1430 AD to the Bahamians but held onto Devarakonda till 1475 AD when the Padmanayaka kingdom was finally extinguished and they joined the court of Hampi Vijayanagar kingdom.

Here, You can see the main entrance of this Fort. This Fort is made up of stones. And now this is fully destroyed in lack of maintenance but at some places, you can see some symbols like old pillars of the fort and places where the king and the soldiers of the fort used to stay. Here more stones are in such way which are creating different paths and it is on the high place of the village. There is a lake also between the Fort. when you will go inside you will need to climb and go upward through the stony path. Hope you can enjoy this place a lot.

when you will go inside you will get an open place on the top of the hill because this fort is made up on the hill. From a certain height of the fort, you can see the entire village. And the buildings will look very small from your neglected eyes. The rocks are in different shapes and you can imagine those shapes with any animal and creature. Somewhere it is looking like a cave or some places are like a big hall. There is also echo at some places. The air is so cool blowing on the top. You can also carry some food items with you like snacks, mixtures. You can do a little party there for your self enjoyments. You can sit on the rocks, click pictures without any restrictions. This fort has a huge area. There is no security guard at this place. And you will get no more crowd at this place. You can do whatever you want. You Can also feel peace at this place. Here, you can see the lake in the picture. You can sit on the bank of the lake and the rocks. The fresh air will make your mind cool.










We left that place about 4:30 PM. We had a good time in Rachakonda fort. We also look at the very historical village. It is still running from the 14th century. When there was a kingdom. Kings were ruling that place. And this form is the memory of that time. This fort and the village both are memorable and the people of this village feel proud that they are from this village. We came back to the room about 6:10 PM. This is about the short visit To Rachakonda Fort.

India Gate: The Pride Of India

The 42-meter-tall India Gate, which resembles the "Arc de Triomphe," is located in the midst of a crossroads in New Delhi. It honours the 70,000 Indian soldiers who died while serving in the British Army throughout World War I, almost identically to its French equivalent. More over 13,516 British and Indian soldiers who died in the Northwestern Frontier during the Afghan War of 1919 have their names inscribed on its wall. His Royal Majesty, the Duchy of Connaught, lay the cornerstone for the Edwin Lutyens-designed India Gate in 1921. 10 years afterwards, Lord Irwin, the regent at the time, presented the memorial to the country. Beside India Gate, you can see Param Yodha Sthal too. Amar Jawan Jyoti, some other monument, was added considerably later, after India gained independence. Underneath the arch, an everlasting light shines day and night to serve as a constant reminder to the men who lost their lives fighting in the Indo-Pakistan Conflict in December 1971. The whole arch...
