Gingee Fort

Making its place in Villupuram District of Tamil Nadu, The Gingee Fort is also famous by the name “Troy of the East”, as titled by Britishers. The locals often call it by the names Senji, Chenji, Jinji or Senchi Fort. The fort is so majestic that Shivaji, the Maratha king, named it as the “most impregnable fortress in India.” The location and the construction of the fort are such miraculous that it makes the fort nearly impossible to be infiltrated by the enemies. The fort houses 3 hilltop citadels and a massive enclosure of thick walls and cliffs. The fort is thought to be built in 16th century by the Vijayanagara Empire, which was later captured by the Marathas following the rule of Mughals, French and British on it. The fort now attracts lots of film-makers for shooting. The citadels situated atop can too be visiting on the tour to the fort. Krishnagiri has the most tedious road to cover. Rajagiri makes the highest of the three and the most favored is Chakklidurg. You must make a day trip to this place to witness the incredible unseen structures of India.
