History

Warangal was originally called Orugallu, which means "a stone", and was ruled by the Kakatiya dynasty. The entire town is believed to be carved from a single rock. The Kakati people built many monuments in the state, including iconic forts, gateways, and temples. Marco Polo also described the city of Warangal in detail during his visit to the country.
