This fort sitting atop a hill in Denkanikottai district of Tamil Nadu and near the border of Karnataka, was built by the Vijayanagaras in the 1300s and it's name meant "fort of the rayas."
It was then owned by the Wadiyar kings of Mysore post the 1500s and then annexed by the British (Major. Gowdie) from Tipu Sultan, during the Third Anglo-Mysore War and was added to the Madras Presidency (under British rule) after the signing of the Treaty of Srirangapatna.
