Devanahalli fort is 35 kms away from the main city of Bangalore. The was initially built with mud and later made with stone by Hyder Ali to its current preserved structure now. As its very close to the place where Tipu sultan was born, this site is considered to be heritage by Archeological survey of India.
Devanahalli earlier known as Devanadodda, was found by relative of Kempe Gowda (founder of Bangaluru). The fort is spread across 20 acres, well now it beholds smaill town.
Its sounds like a movie scene: when we look at the fort wall from outside, we would imagine how grand it would have been once upon a time. As soon as you cross the small fort opening, feels like a tunnel, you will witness a magnificent temple.
This city is full of temples one after another, now this should be renamed as city of temples. This town looks very ancient because of these temples like Venugopalaswamy temple , Siddalingeshwara temple and Sarovaranjaneya temple.
The fort built in 15th century still stands stongs as if protecting the citizens of the ancient town of Devanahalli.
It’s a perfect place for a one day trip from bangalore and experience the heritage of Tipu sultans birth place.
