Historical Ports and Saraiʼs in Adil Shahis of Bijapur Kingdom (Special reference to Bijapur City)

Abstract

The current study research is an attempt on my side to highlight the significance of Sarais, who were part of the Adil Shahi Kingdom and made substantial contributions to the Deccan during the medieval period. To Sarais: Travelers would pause at a Sarai, a halting station or roadside inn with a centuries-old history, at the end of a day’s journey. It’s possible that many of them will be found along key transportation routes across the nation. Sarais were used not only by the common public but also by army soldiers traveling. This kind of vehicle was referred to as a Sarai or caravanserai. These buildings were common throughout the Islamic world, but especially in Mughal India.
