Grounded in the Andhra knowledge graph

Why was Warangal strategically important?

Warangal became a major political centre under the Kakatiyas because it combined a fortified upland position with control over agrarian tank networks and routes linking the Deccan interior to the coast — a base that was administrative, military and economic at once.
