South India and monuments? You might be a bit surprised to know that even southern India has to boast its monumental legacy. Though there isn’t a huge list, the ones that you have to see are vast in terms of history and huge in significance. Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh is known far and wide for its Qutubshahi wonder, the Charminar. Even states like Kerala and Karnataka are known for their splendid monuments. All of the monuments have been well preserved to commemorate events and dynasties that have long become an inseparable part of the Indian history.

The Golconda Fort, that lies atop a granite hill, is situated on the outskirts of Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The 400-year-old impressive structure was erected by Quli Qutub Shah. Apart from witnessing a wonderful architectural plan, you’ll also come to see a water supply system which is termed to be an engineering feat. The Bekal Fort of Kerala is another stunning monument in the southern India. Standing on the shores of the Arabian Sea, the fort was built back in the 17th century. The Mysore Palace happens to be the proud possession of the city of Mysore in Karnataka. The magnificence of the palace can be best experienced when it’s illuminated on the occasion of the Dussehra Festival.
