Summary

DescriptionRocketsiegegolconda.jpg The above Ban (Rocket), pine cane drapped over powder box. This antique ban was stored in the Fort of Golconda, that date back to the time of Tana Shah & the Emperor Aurangzeb. They were in olden days used to open fire upon a besieging enemy from above the gates and bastions of the Fort, and certain men called "Bandars"were entertained in the force for this purpose. The Bandars were very much skilled in their art, and were able to manipulate and concentrate the fire of these bans with great ability in any direction they liked, causing much destruction to the enemy below. It was with these bans that the forces of Aurangzeb were several times repulsed at Golconda. The powder with which they are now found charged, is said to have been filled during the time of Aurangzeb's Expedition.
