The fabled Golconda Sultanate lasted from the early 16th to the late 17th century, and was ruled by the Qutb Shah dynasty. During these two centuries an amazing regional culture developed. Now that I rediscovered my photos of this trip, I will probably write another post about it. The beautiful tombs of the Qutb Shahs, their architecture a sophisticated merger of Indian and Persian styles, have fallen into disrepair. But in one of them we found a caretaker who demonstrated to us the beautiful acoustics of the structures.
I had a strong memory of taking this video, and thought I’d lost it. I’m happy that I found it again. The caretaker did not want a tip; he just wanted to pass on a beautiful discovery. I am happy to be able to help.
Don't hold your breath 
That short clip was mesmerising. What a sound!

A stranger to India, I am always interested in all these ancient structures and cultures you have and wish I had the time and means to see them for myself.

There’s so much to see around the world that a lifetime is not enough, genuinely.

This is amazing! As long as there are caretakers like the one who gave so generously of his passion, we have hope.

Such wonderful knowledge and precision with which these old architectures were created, and sad to see them in state of neglect and disrepair.
Even I old Delhi i had had seen so many old monuments in utter neglect, many of them would carry so much interesting history on them.

Even so, Delhi is better maintained. Monuments in smaller places in India are labelled and then forgotten, by and large.
