Bidar

     
whole view of Bidar fort where thetown is situated. Bidar is 
famous for Bidriware craft and many historical monuments..
It is in Karnataka state and on the border of Andhra pradesh and Maharashtra. It was my one day trip to Bidar from bangalore 
which took 16 hours by road. I have seen two kannad and one
tamil movies in the bus journey.

   spitoons, pandan, trays, basins etc for royal families. Bidriware is
   has large influence of mughal architecture.
