Kavaledurga Fort, Hill fort in Thirthahalli, India

The stone fortification stands on a hill at 13.71879 N and 75.12198 E, featuring multiple defensive walls and gateways across different levels.

The fort served as the fourth capital of the Keladi Kingdom during the 17th century before falling to Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

The fort complex contains temples where local communities gather for ceremonies and celebrations connected to regional traditions and beliefs.

Visitors can access the fort through a 2-kilometer trail from the base, with the best viewing conditions occurring during the post-monsoon months.

The fort protected Rajaram, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji, while Queen Chennamma successfully defended it against Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
