Kavaledurga Fort

Kavualedurga Fort (Kannada ಕವಲೇದುರ್ಗದ ಕೋಟೆ) is a 9th-century fort 18 km (11 mi) from Thirthahalli, Shimoga. It was the fourth and last capital of Keladi kingdom. The fort was administered by the Keladi Nayakas from 1499 and later asserted its independence following the 1565 fall of Vijayanagara, enduring sieges and serving as a refuge for figures such as Queen Chennamma in 1677 and the Maratha prince Rajaram in 1689. Under successive Mysore rulers it saw intermittent garrison use before gradual abandonment left its concentric walls, hidden stairways, and temple ruins to decay amid lush monsoon foliage. History Kavaledurga, often called the "Sentinel Fort" or "Bhuvanagiri Durga", occupies a heavily forested hilltop whose earliest fortifications may date back to the 9th century, when its natural ramparts first drew Chola military builders to the site. From 1499 AD the Keladi Nayakas, initially vassals of the Vijayanagara Empire, administered the fortress. After the fall of Vijayanagara in 1565, Kavaledurga declared independence and held sway here until Hyder Ali annexed their territories in 1763. Under King Venkatappa Nayaka in the 16th century, the fort was extensively strengthened, and in 1677 Queen Chennamma having fled the Bijapur siege of her capital at Bidanur used Kavaledurga as a secure base from which to rally her forces and recapture Nagara. Later, in 1689, the young Maratha prince Rajaram found asylum within its walls while on the run from Aurangzeb’s armies, cementing the fort's reputation as a sanctuary against imperial aggression. Thereafter Kavaledurga saw intermittent garrison use under Mysore's rulers before gradually falling into ruin, its crumbling ramparts and temple ruins now echoing the region's tumultuous medieval and early modern history. Architecture Kavaledurga Fort is termed as a marvel of medieval engineering, its multiple levels were aligned with the hill's natural contours, blending stone fortifications with boulders and outcrops for camouflage. The fort houses remnants of a once-extensive palace, including a plinth, numerous stone columns, a T-shaped stepped tank, a stone toilet, and even a firewood stove, all carved from stone. Its inner fortifications include a small stone gateway accessed via a stairway, while strategically placed structures like a linga-shrine perched on a rocky outcrop reflect the builders' architectural ambition. The fort's three concentric walls, hidden pathways, and integration with lush monsoon foliage highlight its strategic design and its harmony with the surrounding Western Ghats landscape.

Маэ (округ)

Округ Маэ — округ в составе союзной территории Пондичерри (Индия). География Округ Маэ занимает площадь около 9 км². Он является эксклавом: со всех сторон окружён территорией штата Керала. История Французская Ост-Индская компания приобрела эти земли у раджи Бадагара в 1724 году, и возвела на них форт. В 1760-х годах правитель княжества Майсур Хайдер Али за помощь в борьбе против британцев подарил французам округ Налутхара (четыре деревни). После образования независимой Индии во французских колониях на индийском субконтиненте начало шириться движение за объединение с Индией. В июне 1954 года администрация Маэ объявила о присоединении к Индии. Официальный договор о передаче земель бывшей Французской Индии был заключён в мае 1956 года, ратифицирован французским парламентом в мае 1962 года, а обмен ратифицированными документами между Францией и Индией состоялся 16 августа 1962 года. С 1 июля 1963 года бывшая Французская Индия стала союзной территорией Пондичерри. Состав Округ Маэ состоит из трёх несвязных кусков: собственно Маэ, Черукаллай и Налутхара.
