Rayan Kollur is also known as Rajan Kollur, which is known for its megaliths that are 2000–3000 years old. Different varieties of sandstone megaliths are found in Rajan Kollur in Gulbarga. The speciality of the megaliths in Rajan Kollur are that they are prevented from collapsing inwards since all the longer side slabs are projecting beyond the shorter ones. The dolmens seen here were taller than a human being and were more than 3.5 m long. This place when initially built stretched almost 360 m, meaning three times more than what we get to see today. These are the monuments built for the dead though it is believed that there were houses built for the living.
The dolmens present in Rajan Kollur are similar to that of Wales and it is said that there were once 160 dolmens out of which only a 100 can be spotted today.
