Daulatabad fort developed incrementally as it increased in importance. Malik Ambar is acknowledged as having constructed the Ambarkot, the outermost fortifications that hold the civil population. However, it is Mahakot the military zone, that a comprehensive defensive array was constructed. Inside this are remanants of medieval water management systems that enable survival in the waterless Deccan. Symbols of the Khaljis - the largest congregational mosque Jami Masjid, the Bahmanis - Chand Minar proclaiming their dominance, the Mughals - their palaces and cannons, and the Yadavs - the great scarp and moat, define the architecture of the fort. Fabulous wealth and strategic importance combine to make this one of the longest continuously occupied forts in India.
