Gooty Fort, Hill fort in Gooty, India

The fort rises 680 meters above sea level, featuring a citadel on the westernmost hill among several connected elevations in Anantapur district.

Eight inscriptions near the Narasimha temple within the fort date back to Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya VI's reign between 1076 and 1126.

The fort includes multiple architectural elements such as the Narasimha temple, granary, gunpowder magazine, and numerous water storage structures across its grounds.

The fort compound contains 14 main entrances, 28 defensive bastions, and 108 interconnected wells that supplied water to the entire fortification system.

A pavilion known as Murari Rao's seat sits atop a cliff, where the Maratha general would observe the surrounding lands and play chess.
