Hemagudda Fort
Hemagudda Fort, located near the village of Hemagudda in the Koppal district of Karnataka, dates back to the 14th century. It was a strategic stronghold used by the Palegar rulers as a refuge during enemy attacks.
The fort is situated on a hill and features narrow entrances flanked by bastions, with several temples inside including those dedicated to Lord Shiva, Hanuman, and Durga Devi. The fort is associated with Kumara Rama, a local hero and devotee of Durga Devi, who built many temples in the area.
Hemagudda is also linked to the origin of the famous Mysuru Dasara ambari (elephant howdah) tradition. Despite its historical significance, the fort is currently in a state of neglect and requires preservation efforts. During festivals, especially Navaratri, celebrations continue in the fort, reflecting its cultural importance in North Karnataka.
