Kittur Fort, Military fortress in Karnataka, India.
The fort extends across 23 acres and features remaining walls constructed from black basalt rock with a moat connected to a nearby lake.
Rani Chennamma led an armed resistance against British forces from this fort in 1824, predating the major uprising of 1857 by thirty-three years.
The fort contains multiple temples dedicated to Maruti, Kalmeshwara, Dyamavva, and Basavanna, reflecting regional religious practices and architectural traditions.
The archaeological museum within the fort displays weapons, stone idols, and carved wooden doors, with free admission throughout the year.
The palace included a specialized Pole Star Vision Room with an astronomical telescope shaft, indicating advanced astronomical observations during its active period.
