Bidar may not come in the list of a cosmopolitan city , but it is where the knowledge of ancient Persia meets the local characters to house the age old water harvesting system of karez or qanat .
The Bahamani kings had their origin in Iran and they employed Persian engineers to dig underground tunnel in the laterite rocks of Bidar with vertical shafts at intervals to let the rainwater enter the tunnel and transport the entire water to the main pond dug out to accumulate the rainwater .
The famous archaeologist Dr. Ghulam yazdani had recorded about the heritage qanats of Bidar , but years of neglect, and lack of public awareness led to its degradation .
In 2016 when Bidar faced the worst of droughts the ancient karez system was brought back to life by active government and public participation .
The Bidar fort houses the ancient mosque where Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had offered prayers after gaining the Deccan in his empire. Most of the monuments were closed when we visited there and the security guards cited the reason of COVID for the closure.
The gurudwara of Bidar :
When Guru Nanak came to Bidar for his spiritual teachings the residents over here described their plight of having to deal with salty water . It is said guru nanak removed a stone with his feet and from there emerged a spring of sweet water. The water is still there and Is called the Amrit kund.
The popular pilgrimage place of the Sikhs , Shri Nanak Jhira Sahib , is situated very near to the Bidar bus stand and the guru ka dwar is open for people of all religion.
Accomodation with car parking facility is available inside the gurudwara.
