Bellary
Fort Built a top the Ballary Gudda or Fort Hill, during
Vijayanagar times by Hanumappa Nayaka . Hyder Ali
took possession from the Nayaka 's in 1769 , got the
fort renovated . and modified with the help of French
engineer. Legend has it that the engineer was hanged
, for over looking the fact that the neighboring Kumbra
Gudda was taller than Bellary Gudda , thus compromising
the secrecy and command of the fort . His grave is
believed to be located near the East Gate of the fort
, though some locals believe it to be the grave of
some Muslim holly man . Recently the fort has been
illuminated on a 2 km stretch , using 188 special
light and supported by separate sub station Visit
the illuminated fort in the evening and watch the
past come alive |
