How To Reach Gumbaz Darwaza
Bidar, Karnataka, India
Historical Context: The Gumbaz Darwaza, often translated as the 'Dome Gate', is one of the main and most visually distinct entrances to the fortified city of Bidar, forming part of the main approach to the Bidar Fort. It is also referred to as the Mandu Darwaza in some records. It was constructed du ring the reign of the Bahmani rulers, possibly Ahmad Shah I, as part of the fort's significant rebuilding effort in the 15th century. Its name is derived from the prominent dome or gumbaz that crowns the gate structure. This dome served a dual purpose: it made the gate a visually grand entrance, and it provided a sheltered watchtower or lookout post for the fort's guards to monitor the approaches and alert the garrison to threats. Its strategic position makes it a key witness to the many historical events, including the rise and fall of the Bahmani and Barid Shahi dynasties.:
