Namakkal Fort, Monument of National Importance in Namakkal district, India
The Namakkal Fort rises 75 meters high on a single rock formation, featuring stone walls constructed with granite blocks joined by mortar.
The fort changed ownership multiple times, from Thirumalai Nayak of Madurai in the 17th century to Tipu Sultan and later the British East India Company.
The fort complex contains both a Narasimha Murthy temple and a mosque, reflecting the religious diversity of Tamil Nadu's architectural heritage.
The Archaeological Department of Tamil Nadu manages the fort, which remains open to visitors who can explore the ancient structures and fortifications.
According to Hindu mythology, the hill supporting the fort was carried by Hanuman, and an 8-foot statue of this deity stands at the site.
