Summary
We planned a trip to the Ginger fort a few weeks back
Tracing its origins to over 1800 years back, the fort has been under the rule of several powerful empires in India. In the early years it was ruled by Pallava, Chola, Pandya and Vijayanagara kings from the south. Conquerors from the north included Mughals under Aurangazeb and Marathas under Shivaji, who also admired this as one of the ‘most impregnable forts in India’. The fort has had its foreign rulers in the French and finally the British, who also called it ‘Troy of the East’. Today its one of the few, better preserved forts in the south.
