Answer 1

Material : granite and red sand Scitefic concept: it has walls which have tunnels that link to the Kings room so when their is an enemy attack the soldiers simply need to clap to warn the King Steps taken for presevation : The ASI has also undertaken repair of a part of the Ranimahal complex adjacent to the camel stable. The debris accumulated in the ‘zanana’ apartments has been removed. Visitors can now see the queen’s dressing room, the well laid out attached bathrooms and the inlets for hot and cold water. The decorative arch type shelves on the walls have been restored. Skilled labour is engaged to carry out this delicate job. To give the original red tint the stucco work is done using lime mortar mixed with jaggery in right proportion. The complex is being strengthened by grouting and plaster matching with the colour of the structure. Every care is being taken to maintain the distinct features of the Qutb Shahi style, Mr. Srinivas said.
