The name of Bidar appears to be derived
from "BIDIRU" which means bamboo. This district is also known for its
unique Bidri handicraft products.
Bidar is the Northern most district of
Karnataka and situated 130 Kms. North-west of Hyderabad...a rather long journey with dry climate and sunflower and maize fields on the border. Forming a part of the
Deccan Plateau, Bidar is spread over an area of 5,448 sq. km. The southern half
of the district is a high plateau. Bidar was under the
administration of Devgiri and Kakatiyas of Warangal.
Ancient Kalyan and Medieval Bidar were widely
renowned for their splendors and as a seat of learning, culture attainments and
political power.
Bidar is explored for
the historical monuments that date back to the Bahmani era. The most
significant tourist attraction in the district is the Bidar Fort, which is one
of the biggest forts in India.
Best time to visit - winter, with its right temperature. First glimpse would surely disappoint you as monuments stand in bits and pieces stretching over the acres. Serene meadows with less or no human population to visit the site is welcoming.
This was the first time that I ever visited a gurudwara... sikh religion that like all the others preach 'SEVA BHAVANA'... service to man is service to God. ...... Volunteers serve every member who visit the langer thirsty and hungry are fed irrespective of whether you are a sikh, hindu or muslim...
