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.

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)[reply
