Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah Wali, the fourth Qutb king was the builder of Golkonda, situated west of Hyderabad. Hyderabad is a ruined city of south-central India and capital of ancient Kingdom of Golkonda. It is believed that the fort derives its name from Golla Konda, which is a Telugu word for Shepherd’s Hill. It is said that a shepherd boy came across an idol on the hill which led to the construction of a mud fort by the then Kalkatiya dynasty ruler of the kingdom around the site.

Construction of Golconda

The construction of the fort was done with great understanding keeping each and every small thing in mind. A large wall is constructed few feet before the entry gate of the fort so as to prevent elephants and soldiers from having a proper ramp to run and break the gates.


The city and fortress are built on a granite hill that is 120 meters high and is surrounded by massive crenelated ramparts. Over the period of 62 years the mud fort was expanded by the three Qutb Shahi Kings into a massive fort of granite and extended the structure around 5 km in circumference. At that time it remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until 1590 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad.

Golconda- The city of Diamond180px Hope Diamond Golconda

At its time, Golkonda had the only known diamond mines in the world. It was once renowned for the diamonds found on the southeast and cut in the city. The f180px Darya e Noor Diamond of Iran 150x150 Golcondaortress city within the walls was famous for diamond trade as the mines of Golkonda themselves yielded diamonds of trifling quantity. Golkonda became the market city of the diamond trade of that time and the gems sold there came from a number of mines. Europeans knew that diamonds were found only in there fabled mines and thus magnificent diamonds were taken from these mines to the surrounding regions. Darya-e-Nur, Nur-Ul-Ali Diamond, the Koh-i-noor, The Hope Diamond, and The Regent Diamond were some of the famous diamonds excavated from these mines at that time.

The Forts of Golconda

Golkonda consists of four distinct forts with a 10 km long outer wall with 87 semi circular bastions, eight gateways, four drawbridges and number of royal apartments and halls, temples,mosques, magazines, stables inside. The lowest of these is the outermost enclosure into which we enter by the “Fateh Darwaza” near the south which is studded with giant iron spikes. The voice of hand clapped at a certain point below the dome at the entrance gates can be heard clearly at the highest point about kilometer away, and this worked as a warning note to the royals in case of an attack.

The entire massive fort is the best example of architectural planning and its magnificence.

Bala Hissar Gate is the main entrance to the fort located on the eastern side. It has a pointed arch which is bordered by rows of scroll work and the spandrels have yalis and decorated roundels. The area above the door has peacocks with ornate tails and the design of peacock and lions are a blend of Hindu- Muslim architecture. Toli Masjid, situated at Karwan is about 2 km from the Golkonda fort and the mosque inside it is divided into two halls.

Surroundings and the Inner Beauty of Golconda

The fort of Golconda is known for its magical acoustic system and the palaces, factories, water supply system and the famous ‘Rahban’ cannon. Within the fort are also some of the major attractions which attract the visitors. It is also famous that there is a secret underground tunnel which leads from the Durbar Hall and ends in one the palaces at the foot of the hill. The fort also has the tombs of the Qutub Shahi Kings which have Islamic architecture and are encircled by beautiful gardens and numerous exquisitely carved stones.


The two individual pavilions on the outer side of Golconda are also major attraction and the Kala Mandir located in the fort has its own importance. The wonderful acoustic system of Golconda fort speaks volumes about the architecture of the fort and the ventilation of the fort is absolutely fabulous having exotic designs.

Golden Temple is one of the oldest and most Important Sikh Gurdwaras, located in the city of Amritsar. It was established by Guru Ram Das Ji, the fourth guru of the Sikhs. Harmandir Sahib is considered the holiest shrine by Sikhs and so the Golden Temple is also known as Harmandir Sahib. The important part of the Golden temple is that the 11th eternal Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is present inside it and it is the holiest literature in the Sikh religion. The 10th Guru of Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh on 7th October 1708 made it the eternal Sikh Guru and the leader of Sikhism. Harmandir Sahib’s construction was mainly intended as a place of worship for all, from all walks of life and all religions to come and worship God equally. It was built with four doors to show that every religion or faith is allowed to enter in and worship.

History behind Golden Temple and its Construction

The fourth Guru of Sikhism, Guru Ram Das, excavated a tank in 1577 which subsequently became known as Amritsar which means a Pool of the Nectar of Immortality. Later a city grew around  this tank which was called by the same name, Amritsar. In due course, a splendid Sikh edifice, the Harmandir Sahib which means Temple of God was constructed in the middle of this tank which became the supreme centre of Sikhism.
Golden Temple was constructed in Amritsar which is in the Majha region of Punjab. Majha is also known as the Bari Doab as it is a tract of land which lies between two of the five great rivers of the province, the Ravi and the Beas. Golden Temple was originally built during AD 1574. The site of the temple was surrounded by a small lake in a thin forest. The temple was completed in 1604. Guru Arjan Dev Ji, installed the Adi Granth in it and appointed Baba Buddha Ji as the first Granthi (reader) of the temple on August 1604. In the mid 18th century it was attacked by the Afghans, by one of Ahmed Shah Abdali’s Generals, Jahan Khan, and had to be substantially rebuilt in the 1760s.

The Golden Temple Complex and area in its vicinity

The temple is surrounded by a very famous and holy Sarovar(lake) filled with holy water or Immortal Nectar. This holy lake is known as Amritsar. There are entrances to the temple on all four sides which is based on the concept of the tent of Abraham in the Old Testament which ensures the acceptance of every person irrespective of religion, trade or cast. Inside the temple complex there are many shrines to past Sikh Gurus, Saints and Martyrs. There are three holy trees inside the temple which are associated with a historical event or Sikh saint. There are many memorial plaques too that commemorate past Sikh Gurus, saints, martyars and it also include the commemorative inscriptions of all the Sikh soldiers who died fighting in the second World War. Inside the temple there is the Sikh Central museum near the main entrance called the Ghanta Ghar Deori i.e. clock tower gate. Inside the shrine hard drinks, non veg and smoking is restricted and the every visitor is expected to cover his or her head as a sign of respect. Head scarves are provided. One should remove his shoes and shocks while entering the temple and wash their feet in the small pool of water. There was created a serene landscape that was fully consistent with the eternal beauty of the Harmanbir sahib and was done in quiet consultation with the SGPC. The pilgrims today can travel here by foot where no vehicles are permitted.

Golden Temple is known for its Artwork and Monument Sculptures

Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the leader of the Sikh Empire of the Punjab who is also known as Sher-e-Punjab was heavy donor of wealth and materials for the shrine. And for this hi is remembered with much affection by the Punjabi people and the Sikh community in particular. The exterior of the Gurdwara’s upper floor and domes are covered by the golden plates and the marble work is exquisite around and was done under the patronage of this Sher-e-Punjab. The arch of the Darshani Deorhi opens onto the causeway which leads to the sanctum sanctorum of the Harmandir Sahib. It is 202 feet high and 21 feet in width. Facing the arch stands the Akal Takht.

Festivals Celebrated at Golden Temple

It is celebrated in the second week of April usually on 13th and this day is important as it is believed that Khalsa was found on this very day.

There are more religious days which are celebrated in Hamandir Sahib such as martyrdom day of Guru Teg Bahadur i.e. the birthday of Guru Nanak. Diwali is also celebrated with full encouragement in Harmandir Sahib. On the festival of Diwali, the Golden Temple is beautifully illuminated with Diyas, lights and fireworks are really beautiful to watch. During these special occasions millions of pilgrims visit this shrine. It is also believed that most of the Sikh people visit Amritsar and the Golden Temple at least once during their lifetime.

Operation Blue Star at the Golden Temple

Under the instruction of Indira Gandhi, in between 3 and 6 June, 1984, the Indian Army brought troops into the Harmandir Sahib to arrest Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. It was believed that he with some of his followers had taken refuge in the Harmandir Sahib and they resisted the police who sought to arrest him for suspected acts of terrorism. The compound of the Golden Temple and some of the surrounding houses were fortified and the statesman reported on July 4 that light machine-guns and sophisticated self-loaded rifles were known to have been brought into the compound. Indira Gandhi ordered to launch an operation known as Operation Blue star which resulted in fierce fighting. Many of the Bhindranwal’s supporters along with Indian soldiers were killed.
