Daulatabad-devgiri fort.. (11th century AD) A stairway in a cave strategically cut through a mountain to confuse the enemy soldiers during battles maybe halfway into the fort. It was cold and complete dark in there. when i turnd on my flashlight i av seen hundreds of bats hangin on to the roof and some flying over the head. i had a eerie feeling when passing through this cave maybe because the local guide told me that the next chamber is where thousands of enemy soldiers were beheaded. #fort #historicalplace #historychannel #historynerd #outlooktraveller #natgeotravel #eerie #manmade #cave #hillfort #battles #fortsofindia #instagram #daily #soldiers #bats #ancientarchitecture #rock #archeology #mountain #stairway #maharastra #explore (at Daulatabad, Maharashtra, India)

Tiger caves. Built by pallavas in the 8th century AD, this rock cut temple complex gets its name from the tiger head carvings on the top.The discovery of an inscription on this complex in 2005 led to the excavations of subramaniah temple. #manmade #tiger #worldheritagesite #natgeotravel #outlooktraveller #timetravel #ancient #ancientarchitecture #history #archeology #rock #sculpture #trav3lr (at Tigers Cave)
