The Chitradurga Fort, literally meaning 'Picturesque Fort', lives up to its name handsomely. The sheer size of the thing boggles the mind. Seven rings of the fort straddle seven different hills, some of which can be seen in this photograph. Among other things, the Fort is said to have 19 gateways, 38 posterior entrances, 35 secret entrances, four invisible passages, water tanks, storage ware-houses, pits and reservoirs. The total length of the fort walls is, wait for it... about 8 km. Hope to go back someday and see more of the fort. :)
