About the Destination

Overview

Taramati Baradari is a historical pavilion situated on a small hillock near the Golconda Fort. Constructed in a Persian style, the structure features a music hall with 12 doorways, which is known for its impressive acoustic design. The building is a large, open pavilion with semi-arched construction that allows for excellent cross-ventilation, a feature common in historical Deccan architecture. The main hall is on an elevated platform, and visitors can walk around its periphery. Below the main pavilion, there is a large open-air auditorium that now hosts cultural programs.
