Chandragiri, Historical fort town near Tirupati, India

The Raja Mahal Palace stands with its stone construction, brick elements, and lime mortar structure, displaying architectural features from the Vijayanagar period.

After the Battle of Talikota in 1565 caused the fall of Vijayanagar Empire, the ruling Aravidu raja established Chandragiri as their capital in 1585.

The fort complex contains eight temples dedicated to Saivite and Vaishnavite worship, representing the religious practices of different periods in Indian history.

The archaeological museum inside Raja Mahal Palace remains open to visitors, while the surrounding fort structures are currently closed to public access.

The wealth from Muslim inhabitants of the fort included nose rings that filled three bamboo buckets before being transported to Kurudumale in Karnataka.
