Abstract | Channagiri Fort, located in the Davangere district of Karnataka, is a historically significant site that reflects the strategic and architectural prowess of the Vijayanagara Empire. Constructed during the 15th or 16th century, the fort was strategically positioned to control important trade routes and regional territories, underscoring its role as a key military and administrative outpost of the empire. Its robust fortifications, including high walls and bastions, are emblematic of Vijayanagara defensive architecture and reflect the empire's advanced engineering skills. Following the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire, Channagiri Fort came under the control of various local powers, including the Wodeyars of Mysore, illustrating its enduring significance in regional power dynamics. The fort’s historical role extends beyond its military use, contributing to the cultural and administrative heritage of the Davangere district. Today, Channagiri Fort serves as a symbol of the region's rich historical legacy, attracting interest from historians, archaeologists, and tourists. Its preservation and study offer valuable insights into the architectural and strategic practices of South India during a pivotal era. The fort stands as a testament to the complex historical and cultural tapestry of the Davangere district, reflecting the enduring impact of its historical past on the region’s identity. |
