Bangalore, the silicon valley of India, adorns the majestic Bangalore Fort, also known as the fort of Tipu Sultan, which testifies to the rich past of the Kingdom of Mysore and is a powerful building in Indian history. The fort takes you through the various types of architecture, their influences, and development, and has profoundly engraved its own share of history in the fascinating stone construction.
The fort is a living testimony to the notorious battle of the Mysore Empire against the mighty British people. Also known as the house of happiness or the Rash-e-Zannat, this palace is a symbol of courage and dexterity.
While constructing the fort’s Southern Gate, a curious thing used to happen. It used to fall off instantly every time they built an entrance. So, a human sacrifice had been proposed by someone, but Kempe Gowda was against it. His daughter-in-law, however, is said to have offered self-sacrifice by cutting off her head near the Southern Entrance. Finally, they completed the fort’s construction. So, Kempe Gowda built a temple in Kormangala in memory of her.
Bangalore Fort has located about 38 km from Bangalore’s Kempegowda International Airport. A taxi from the airport to the palace is easy to use. Bangalore allows visitors to visit it at any time of the year. It is advisable to schedule your travel between September and December.
It is open all days between 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. The entry fee is INR 5 for Indians, and it is INR 200 for foreigners. INR 25 per camera if you are carrying a camera.
