Much
of the early history of this 800 years old fort is shrouded in
mystery, as the fort seems to have changed many hands times
before it was annexed to the Vijayanagar empire.
The fort still stands at 800ft. in height, guarded by a moat,
eighty feet wide.
GINGEE today, with its ruined forts, temples and granaries,
presents a different picture from the glorious splendor of its
bygone days. But the remains of that valorous past, speak
volumes about the numerous invasions, warfare and bravery that
it witnessed. The forts are located on either side of the road
to T. V. Malai . |
