Kurumbera Fort, Medieval fort in Gaganeshwar, India.
The fort features a spacious courtyard enclosed by arched corridors supported by 69 original stone pillars, with a three-domed structure on a raised platform.
Constructed between 1438 and 1469 during the Suryavamsi Gajapati dynasty of Odisha, the structure later incorporated elements of Mughal architecture after their arrival.
The name Kurumbera derives from local dialect words 'kurum' meaning stone and 'bera' meaning fence, reflecting the structure's stone fortification purpose.
Located 4 kilometers from Keshiari town, visitors can access the fort through well-maintained roads lined with trees, though personal transportation is needed from Keshiari.
Despite its classification as a fort, the structure lacks typical defensive features and contains a sacrificial altar, suggesting its primary function as a religious gathering space.
