The fort was built within a thickly forested area that has a wealth of plant species, including many medicinal herbs.[2] The fort provides a scenic view of the confluence of the Manair and Godavari Rivers.[1] The fort is {{Convert|22|km}} away from Peddapalli, the district headquarters.[2] The Peddapalli – Manthani highway passes close to the fort, which is {{Convert|2|km}} away from the Begumpet village.[1] HistoryThe fort was built in the 12th century by the Kakatiyas of Warangal. Later, it was controlled by the Qutub Sahi Sultanate from 1518 to 1687. In 1656, the ruler of Golconda, Abdullah Qutb Shah, gave the fort to his son-in-law, one of Aurangzeb's sons.{{Sfn|Roy|2014|p=116}} The fort came under the control of the British Raj in 1791.[3] Tradition has it that Kalidasa, one of the greatest Sanskrit poets, was motivated to compose his Meghadūta, a lyrical poem, by the Ramagiri Fort; however, Kalidasa is thought to have lived in the fifth century CE, well before the fort's construction.{{Sfn|Congress|1990|p=775}} FeaturesBuilt in stone, the fort has many bastions and occupies a large area of a few square kilometres.[2] The bastions are in octagonal shape.{{Sfn|Murthy|1997|p=32}} The fort had been fitted with four forge-welded cannons on the masonry battlements built to a height of {{Convert|12|m}} as part of the fort walls.{{Sfn|Roy|2014|p=116}} It has been noted that the mud plaster that covered some of the structures in thick layers was a combination of mud, lime, reeds, hair of animals, or even blood of animals.{{Sfn|Murthy|1997|p=26}} Herbal plantsThe Ramagiri forest in the area of the fort is an important source for medicinal plants. Large numbers of local medicinal people collect the plants and offer them for sale in nearby towns. Students also visit the area to identify these plants and make herbarium specimens. In view of this importance for medicinal plants, it has been suggested that the forest of the fort area be declared a Medicinal Plants Conservation Center.[4] See also
