The mighty tower was constructed between the period of 1458 and 1488 and is so tall and massive that it is visible from any part of the city.
Maha Sati
This beautiful structure, glistening in the sun attracts tourists also because of a water reservoir which it believed to have the waters of Ganges emerging from it.
