Savandurga Fort - History details

Savandurga, one of Asia’s largest monoliths at 1,226 meters, stands near Magadi in Ramanagara district. First referenced in 1340 CE during the Hoysala era, it later served as a fortified stronghold under Kempegowda before Mysore took control in 1728. British forces led by Lord Cornwallis captured it in 1791 during the Third Anglo‑Mysore War. Its twin hills, Karigudda and Biligudda, attract trekkers and pilgrims year‑round.
