Karnataka Guide

Malik-e-Maidan, Bijapur, Karnataka Malik-e-Maidan or the 'Lord Of Battlefield', is an enormous cannon, fourteen feet long and weighing about 55 tons. Perched on a platform specially built for it, the cannon's muzzle is fashioned into the shape of a lion's head.

And as the cannon glistens in the sunlight, one is delighted to know that in 1854 AD when the grand gun was auctioned for a paltry sum of Rs. 150, the sale was thankfully cancelled.
