[1] The tourism department promotes the location by romantic stories linking the then-Sultan with a courtesan named Taramati.

[2] One such story goes that during the reign of Abdullah Qutb Shah, he used to hear Taramati's voice as she sang for travelers at the Serai, while he sat two kilometers away at Golconda fort.

[3] About half a mile north of the fort lies his grave amid a cluster of carved royal tombs.

As a tribute to Taramati and Premamati, they both were buried in the royal cemetery of the Qutub Shahi kings.

Taramati Baradari pavilion has 12 doorways and was constructed to allow cross ventilation and is one of the most indigenous techniques to have been used at that time.
