Mystic Forces of Golconda Fort.

The impregnable fort of Golconda withstood repeatedand prolonged blockades accompanied with ferocious

assaults by the Mughal army. When it was finally taken,the fort fell to intrigue and treachery, or as some believe,

the end came about due to spiritual intervention. Therenowned defensive mechanisms of Golconda thoughwere never breached.Golconda Fort was besieged in early

1687 by the Imperial army. The renowned fort, whichhad traditionally served as the last refuge for theGolconda monarch and nobility, proved to be a challenge

for even a seasoned campaigner like Aurangzeb Alamgir.

The Mughal army was at the receiving end for almosteight months over which all their attempts at storming

the fort were repelled by the gallant garrison. Theingenious counter measures executed by the defendersoften reversed the tables on the assailants causing heavy

casualties. In frustration, the emperor ordered the

construction of an encircling barricade to prevent ingressof supplies and reinforcements.
