Aranthangi Fort
Aranthangi Fort is a historic fortress located in the town of Aranthangi in Pudukkottai district, Tamil Nadu. It was built in the 16th or 17th century by the Tondaiman kings, who ruled the region as feudal chiefs under the Vijayanagara and Pandya kingdoms. Unlike many other forts, its walls are constructed primarily with mud rather than stone or brick. The fort lacks grand palaces or striking buildings inside but remains an important symbol of the region’s past.
Nearby, there is an 11th-century Hindu temple built by Rajendra Chola, reflecting the area's long-standing cultural heritage. The fort represents the history of a relatively lesser-known Tondaiman lineage and stands as a testament to the architectural and political history of this part of Tamil Nadu.
