represent the most authentic and majestic display of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. The galleries of the
smaller tombs are of a single storey while the larger ones are two storied. In the centre of each tomb is a
sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid
with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain. This tombs are said to be the oldest

underground chamber, trap doors, an armory, stables, ponds, wells etc. Bhongir is located only 50 kms
away from Hyderabad. The rock on which the fort is has a unique egg-shaped construction with two
entry points confined by huge rocks, so the fort was considered practically invincible by invading armies.
