Krishnagiri fort Narrating The Legends Of Indian History


How the district got name as krishnagiri?

The fort was built by King Krishnadevarayalu of the Vijayanagar Empire. For this reason, the town and

 the fort got the name Krishnagiri (“Krishna” from the king’s name, “giri” meaning hill).

Who are all ruled the fort?

The fort and the surrounding areas, then called “baramahal”, were given to Jagadevarayalu by the

 Vijayanagar for his velour in the wars. Jagadevarayalu made Jagadevi his capital.

Meaning of baramahal?


  Twelve palace(mahal), and tradition says that it was derived from the fact that twelve hills within it wear

fortified by local chieftains but of the various lists of these twelve forts no two agree.

IN 17th century

The fort and baramahal came under the rule of Bijapur Sultanate and it was given to Shahji as jagir. Shahji made Bangalore his headquarters and ruled these areas. After the death of Shahji, his younger son Vyankoji(Ekoji) became the ruler. In the 1670s Chatrapati Shivaji captured this fort from his younger brother Vyankoji during his Deccan expedition.



IN 18th century

 Hyder Ali captured this fort and baramahal on the instruction of Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar, king of Mysore.

In 1768 this fort surrendered to the British after a long blockade in the First Anglo-Mysore war.

MY CARRING ELDER BROTHER
