Sannathi is at a distance of 40 kilometers from Gulbarga. Here, one can find the popular Chandralamba Temple.
This temple was constructed in the 11th century and is dedicated to Goddess Durga. Sannathi is the biggest Buddhist state in Karnataka and hence has a great archaeological importance.
The Gulbarga Fort, although in ruins, is a prominent structure in the city. The walls echo the pristine aura and grandeur of the place. This fort was built by Raja Gulchand and expanded by Alauddin Bahman. Currently, the fort houses may guns, towers, huge buildings, temples and mosques.
One of the holiest Muslim shrines in southern India is the Khwaja Bande Nawaz Dargah. The prime aspect of this Dargah is the yearly urus.
Thousands of pilgrims comprising both Hindus and Muslims pay their homage. This is the evidence of the communal harmony at this place. The library of the Dargah has more than ten thousand books in Persian, Arabic and Urdu.
One of the oldest mosques in South India is the Jumma Masjid. On the top there are 68 domes and the style of architecture is Persian.
