Buddhiyapur - The Old City
BUDDHIYAPUR
In the last update, we had a look at the brief history of Gangyaput. Today we have a closer look at Buddhiyapur, the Old City.
Taken out of the offical tourist brochure: Parts of the old Lal Qilaah can be seen on its slopes and grounds, and highlights of a visit to the old city include a visit to the restored Fort of the Nawabs, now housing a history museum. Visit the ancient remains of the Mahagangyawat with its restored main temple, or stroll through the little streets of the old living quarters with its mudlike houses, masheeda’s (prayer towers) and fountains. Go to the old Baag Saraayat, and marvel at the beauty of the exotic garden terraces. Wonder beyond the populated living quarters and visit Shilla Tower, or attend an evening prayer at Boon Wat, a beautiful temple in Siyam style.
Typical street scenery..
Masheeda's (prayer towers), fountains, greenery.. the Old City is full with it..
Shilla Tower
Shilla Lake flanked by a solitary defence tower, once part of a vast and powerful system of walls and alleys to keep the enemies out
A foggy day, of which there are quite a lot.. The entrance gates can be seen here, as well as the remains of the Fort of the Nawabs
And last but not least, an overview of Buddhiyapur..
