2. Bhadra fort (takes approx 15 min): Sultan Ahmedshah Badha gave this precious fort. The portion of the Bhadra Fort that is open to the public is small in size. Nothing much to see inside fort. Terrific view of the market from the rooftop of the Bhadra Fort. Inside fort one Dargah of Pirbaba is here. People from all community come for darshan on Thursday.
3. Bhadrakali Temple (takes approx 10 mins): It is situated out side of fort. Very old & miracle Temple of Mahakali. Lots of people come everyday. When we visited there was a elephant outside temple and people could feed him bananas.This was awesome experience for my kid.
Outside market is laal darwaja market.
There are a lot of shopping vendors on the street nearby. Good place for street shopping. You should have real good bargaining skills to shop from here. Usually people come to shop replicas of the original brands in this market. Products are cheap and of inferior quality.

Jhulta Minar (Sidi Bashir Mosque)(Takes approx 20mins):
The Sidi Bashir Mosque due to its unique construction is called Jhulta Minar. A classic example of Super craftsmanship, Jhulta Minar is actually a part of the mosque Siddi Bashir. The Mosque has been constructed in such a manner that, if you apply a little force on its upper arc, the minar tends to sway. Now a days you can not witness swing of minar as it has been restricted.
