Walls Tell Stories
NCERT Looking Around, Class 5, Chapter 10 wanders through old forts, palaces, and mosques that record history in stone. A visit to Golconda Fort reveals mighty gates, clever water channels, echoing halls, and cannons that guarded kings centuries ago. Children read carved walls, stepwells, and ruined bazaars like pages of a book, guessing how people cooked, bathed, prayed, and celebrated inside. The chapter shows why protecting monuments matters and how masons, painters, and gardeners keep heritage alive for future visitors.
