A city of War and Peace....

"

A Capital of the Yadavas built on the Deccan - the Impregnable fortress is truly 'The Hill of Gods',
this prosperous city of war and peace joins the South and the North connecting the missing dots. 

To the great Jyotirlingam of Grishneshwar, piligrims flocked for centuries, 

as kingdoms fell with a sign of chaos in the unending game of changing friends and enemies.

One after another, the conquerors fell prey to lack of patience, 

until the troops of the tenacious Delhi Sultan resorted to treachery with determination.

Another maverick one made this his capital, 

another round of applause awaits this experiment so radical.

Then like a fickle weather, the city changed many hands,

and the Last Great Mughal came with cannons ravaging these lands.

In simple dargahs, empire builders were entombed,

but the city of war and peace thrived and bloomed.
