Budikote
Budikote, located in Kolar district of Karnataka, is historically known as the "Fort of Ash" and was the birthplace of Hyder Ali, the influential ruler and military commander of the Kingdom of Mysore who fought against British colonial forces.
The village features an ancient fort with stone walls and bastions, now in a dilapidated state, along with ancient temples dedicated to deities like Sugriva, Hanuman, and Venkateswara. Budikote's history dates back to the 8th century with inscriptions from the Bana kingdom and connections to various local chieftains over the centuries.
The village also has the Markandeya reservoir nearby, built in the late 1930s, which supports local agriculture. Despite its rich historical significance and literary mentions, especially by English poet E. M. Jones, Budikote's fort and heritage sites have suffered neglect and poor maintenance.
