Sainik School Coaching in Gulbarga

Sainik School Coaching in Gulbarga (Karnataka)

Gulbarga was the first capital of the Bahmani Sultanate.

1347 CE. Alauddin Hasan Bahman Shah revolted against the Delhi Sultanate, established the Bahmani Kingdom, and chose Gulbarga as his capital. For 75 years the city was the seat of one of medieval India's most powerful sultanates - the state that would eventually fragment into five Deccan Sultanates including Bijapur.

The Gulbarga Fort from this period contains the Jama Masjid - constructed in 1367 CE. Its design is unique in India: the entire mosque interior is covered with domed arcades, with no open courtyard. Modelled after the Great Mosque of Cordoba in Spain, it is the only mosque of its type on the Indian subcontinent. The entire 3,292 square metres of prayer space is covered by 75 small domes and one large central dome.

Also from this period: the dargah of Hazrat Syed Muhammad Husayni Gesudaraz - known as Banda Nawaz (Caretaker of the poor). Born in Delhi in 1321 CE, he was the leading Sufi saint of the Chishti order, died in Gulbarga in 1422 at 101 years old. His dargah draws pilgrims from 50+ countries. The Urs festival each year brings hundreds of thousands.

Before the Bahmani period: the Rashtrakuta king Amoghavarsha Nrupatunga - a great ruler who was also a scholar and poet - had his capital at Manyakheta, present-day Malkhed village in this district. 814-878 CE.

Before that: Basavanna - the 12th century Lingayat philosopher, social reformer, and Shiva devotee - was Prime Minister of King Bijjala in the nearby town of Basavakalyana. His movement against caste discrimination, his Vachanas, his Anubhava Mantapa (where all classes sat together to debate philosophy) - all from this district's cultural orbit.

Officially renamed Kalaburagi in 2014 (Kannada name - "stony land"). Population 2.56 million. Literacy 66.58%.
