The inner wall, which is constructed of huge blocks of well-dressed and nicely fitted stones. An interesting feature is this construction is done without the any cementing material. The inner wall has two gateways: the Sailani Darwaza on the west and the Sikandari Darwaza on the east. The outer wall is built of comparatively rough stone masonry. The outer fortifications contain five gateways: Mecca Darwaza on the west, the Naumngi Darwaza on the north, the Kati Darwaza on the east, the Khanrlak Darwaza on the south and the Doddi Darwaza on the south-west. Inside the fort-walls, there are a number of old buildings and mosques of considerable archaeological interest, several of them containing inscriptions commemorating their erection during the later Bahmani and the Adil Shahi periods.
  • The Ashokan Edict of Maski: Maski is one of the most important archaeological sites with respect to the Minor Rock Edicts of Mauryan Emperor Ashoka found in the state. The edict of Maski was discovered by Mr. C. Beadon, a goldmining engineer in 1915. The Mauryan Emperor Ashoka ruled over most of India more than 2200 years ago. He is considered as one of the greatest kings in the history of the world. He made non-violence, tolerance, charity and kindness the core of his public policy. And it was his patronage that Buddhism eventually ensured its spread around the world. After the Kalinga war, Ashoka issued 33 edicts all over his empire to publicize his policies and propagate the Buddhist message of non-violence and dharma. These were engraved on boulders, stone pillars, stone slabs and cave walls. A total of 9 have been found in Karnataka till now. Among the 9 edicts found in Karnataka, Maski occupies a significant place. It was the first edict wherein the Emperor was referred to by his name i.e Ashoka apart from his epithets such as Devanam Piya and Piyadasi . This edict was important to conclude that many edicts found earlier in the Indian sub-continent in the name of Devanam Piya and Piyadasi all belonged to Emperor Ashoka.

tourist places around raichur

Do you enjoy visiting historical places to gain insight into their history? Do you enjoy observing preserved cultures and heritage? Well, then, let us take you to Raichur in the state of Karnataka, where you can explore old buildings, forts, landmarks, temples, and more to make your weekend exciting. Raichur is a place that will pull you back to historical times, and you can still sense the existence of the past in their culture and living style. We have compiled a list of the best places to visit around Raichur, Karnataka, so your week-long tour will be most memorable.

Table of Contents

Where is Raichur located?

Raichur is an ideal destination to experience history first-hand. This city is located in the Karnataka state of India and is sandwiched between the two important Indian rivers, Krishna and Tungabhadra. This ancient city is about 410 km away from Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, and serves as an administrative center for the Raichur district.

How old is Raichur? 

If we look deep into the history of Raichur, it starts in the 3rd century BC with Mauryan king Ashoka and then proceeds toward 1294 AD, when the city was owned by Kakatiya rulers and they built the fort to maintain their opulence. The ruins of this fort still exist in Raichur.

With time, the control of this destination transferred to different rulers; Vijayanagara and Mughal emperors were also included in them. All of them left their ruins in their architectural style and culture. In 1489, Raichur was also introduced as the capital of Vijaypur, and at present, it is a commercial city with the production of soap, cotton, and oilseeds. 

Till 1956, this city was part of the state of Hyderabad, but as a consequence of state reorganization, it has gained significant popularity in Karnataka state for the legacy of its past.

Why is it called Raichur?

Raichur’s name is originally derived from Rayachooru, which means King’s Place. This name was gained from the inscriptions, discovered from Belur mention of Rachanoor, today known as Raichur. The word Rayachooru has another meaning in the Telugu language: “Rai or Raya” means stone, and “ooro” means a town of stone. 

The city has a magnificent collection of inscriptions, starting from Mauryan rulers to the end of the Mughal emperors, and for this interesting fact, it is called Raichur. Since its rich production of cotton, the city also earned the nickname “cotton city” by locals.

What is the specialty of Raichur? 

Raichur is famous for Raichur Fort, which houses a collection of engravings in Urdu, Arabic, and Persian that speak about the magnificent past of the city. This point of disembarkation has historical monuments to witness the rise and fall of many rulers. 

Raichur was famous for diamond and mineral sources, too, because this is the same place that provides Kohinoor diamonds to the world. Perhaps this aspect can be a bone of contention between the rulers of the past. The city has become a well-known tourist destination among history buffs for its rich culture and preserved heritage. 

A UNESCO World Heritage Site named Hampi is also situated near Raichur. This urban area has special places worth visiting and is the best destination to relate the present to the past.

Final Thoughts

Summing up the whole discussion, all 12 best places to visit around Raichur we discussed in this guide are definitely worth visiting. Raichur is not a religious-specific site; the uniqueness of the art, culture, and history of this region are the main attractive features that witnessed the rise and fall of different emperors. As the weather in Raichur is hot, plan your trip in the winter months. If you go in the summer months, don’t forget to keep your sunglasses, sunscreen, and water bottle in your bag to prevent heat stroke. Since many historical places are deprived of basic facilities, it’s more convenient to carry some snacks with you. Plan your next trip to Raichur to learn interesting facts about history.
