It’s proximity to the diamond mines of Golkonda, nearby made it one of the richest cities of it’s time, as also it’s grand monuments, the massive fort, and the temples here. The Kakatiyas control of the entire Telugu speaking region, and the Eastern Coast, enabled the flourishing of trade resulting in it’s prosperity. It was but natural such riches would attract the attention of the Delhi Sultanate.
