An Ancient Bahmani Monument
by
Prof. Bibhudutta Baraland Srikanth B.
Rangeen Mahal
Rangeen Mahal, the best-preserved monument in Bidar Fort is an architectural wonder. It is also named as Queen Palace as the Queen and her women staff were the main residents of the Palace. Like Gagan Mahal, Rangeen Mahal was also rebuilt during the Barid Shahi period. This masterpiece from the mid-16th Century stands out for its wall decorations with finest pearls and colored tiles arranged in jet-black stone. Floral Paintings, Calligraphy Texts, Stone carvings, and Stucco art are other highlights of the structure.
