About the Event
Built by the Yadavaraya dynasty in 1000 CE, Chandragiri Fort changed ownership several times and has seen quite some battles. It was the capital of the once glorious Vijayanagara empire in the 16th century, and passed into the hands of the Deccani Sultanate at the Battle of Talikota. Later on, the Sultanate reduced Hampi to ruins. It also became East India Company's ticket to acquiring more territory in the South. If the history wasn't exciting enough, the fort features two palaces which make a trip to Chandragiri an even better treat.
