In a rare honour, the postal department launched a postal cover and a postal stamp on the historical Medak fort recently.
About Medak Fort:
It is a historic hill fort located in Medak town, Telangana.
The fort was built during the 12th century under the reign of the Kakatiya ruler, Pratapa Rudra, and it was initially called ‘MethukuDurgam’ in Telugu.
It served as a command post for the Kakatiyas and later for the Qutub Shahis.
Features:
It has three main entrances, namely the “Prathama Dwaram”, the “SimhaDwaram” and the “GajaDwaram”.
The main entrance features the double-headed “Gandabherundam”, the emblem of Vijayanagara Empire built by the great ruler Srikrishna Devaraya.
The fort also has a 17th-century mosque on its premises built by the Qutub Shahis, as well as granaries.
