Savandurga rock, Karnataka

 

Savandurga rock (or Sevan Droog, as the British called it) was the site of a fierce battle between the invading British forces and the defending troops of "one of the local Tipoos forces defended the fort with such determination."
That line was from a British report about this battle and that local Tipoo was none other than Tipu Sultan during the Third Anglo-Mysore War in December 1791.
