Naldurg is one of the biggest Land forts of Maharashtra reflecting Indo- Islamic architectural style. The fort wall is supposedly 3 km long and has several bastions.  Naldurg is named after a medieval king Nalaraja, built during the time of the Chalukyas of Kalyani. Later on, it has been passed or captured by many rulers from Bahamani sultanates to Adilshahi and then it went to the hands of Mughals. After the decline of Mughals, Nizams captured the fort and flourished in the region. It is also said that the infamous marriage of Chand bibi sultana occurred in the Rang Mahal of Naldurg fort. This wedding occurred between two kingdoms namely AdilShahi and NizamShahi.
