Items in the above list from "Chaubara" to "Bidri Ware" are not related to "Bidar Fort" as these monuments are outside the fort premises. I have created several of the above mentioned article pages viz. Bidriware, Mahmud Gawan Madrasa, Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib, Narasimha Jharni and many others are in various developmental stages. You are welcome to collaborate! --Anand2202 (talk) 10:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
