At
a
distance
of
1.2
km
from
Molangur
Bus
Station,
31
km
from
Karimnagar
and
169
km
from
Hyderabad,
Molangur
Fort
is
located
at
Molangur
in
Karimnagar
District
of
Telangana.
The
Molangur
fort
was
constructed
on
a
hillock
by
Voragiri
Moggaraju,
one
of
the
chief
officers
of
Prathapa
Rudra
of
Kakatiya
dynasty.
It
was
constructed
as
a
transit
halt
for
Kakatiyas
while
travelling
from
Warangal
fort
to
Elgandal
Fort
in
Karimnagar.
The
Molangur
fort
is
listed
as
protected
site
by
the
Archaeological
Department.
The
fort
is
constructed
on
a
huge
granite
hill
that
made
it
difficult
for
anybody
to
climb
it
from
any
side.
On
the
way
to
the
top
of
the
hill,
an
inscription
carved
on
a
boulder
mentions
that
there
are
two
ways
to
the
fort.
At
the
entrance
of
the
fort
there
is
a
Dargah
of
Molang
Shah
Wali,
a
muslim
saint.
It
is
reported
that
the
original
name
of
the
village
was
Mudugar.
It
appears
to
have
been
renamed
as
Molangur
after
the
name
of
the
Muslim
saint
Molang
Shah
Wali.
In
addition
to
the
Dargah,
the
fort
also
houses
two
temples
dedicated
to
Lord
Shiva.
There
is
a
beautiful
tank
on
the
fort
and
also
on
its
foothills
along
with
a
well
called
Doodh
Bowli
(milky
well)
The
ramparts
of
the
fort
still
bear
the
remnants
of
garrisons,
stables
that
remind
it's
glorious
past.
The
ruined
walls,
gates,
bastions,
moatsculptures
and
several
other
remains
in
the
fort
still
attract
the
attention
of
the
visitors.
