Built in the 13th century by Kakatiya king Ganapati Deva, the warangal fort is spread across a massive area. Having been attacked and successfully invaded by the Delhi Sultanate multiple times, most of the structures that once stood tall here were destroyed. The only remaining ones in fair condition are four stone gateways known as the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam, which used to form the entrances to the now-in-ruins Swayambhava Temple dedicated to Hindu deity Shiva.
