Warangal’s fort, on the southern edge of town, was a massive construction with three circles of walls (the outermost 7km around). Most of it is now either fields or buildings, but at the centre is a huge, partly-reassembled Shaivite Svayambhu Temple , with handsome, large torana gateways at its cardinal points. An autorickshaw from Warangal station costs around ₹300 return.
The ticket also covers the Kush Mahal (Shitab Khan Mahal), a 16th-century royal hall 400m west. Almost opposite the Svayambhu entrance is a park containing the high rock Ekashila Gutta which is topped by another Kakatiya temple overlooking a small lake.
