Hosadurga is a town and taluk in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka, located on the Deccan Plateau at an elevation of about 739 meters. Its name means "New Fort" in Kannada, reflecting its origins around a hill fort built by Chikkanna Nayaka in 1676. The region has historical significance, having been ruled by various dynasties including the Vijayanagara Empire and later the Nayakas of Chitradurga.
The terrain is marked by hills, rocky outcrops, and the presence of the Vedavathi River, with the Vani Vilasa Sagara Dam built on its eastern border. The area combines rich cultural history, with temples and fortifications, and is known for its natural beauty and archaeological importance tied to the Chitradurga Supracrustal geological formation.
Hosadurga played a notable role in regional politics and culture through various periods, including colonial times and the Forest Satyagraha movement against British rule, and today it is appreciated for both its historical legacy and serene environment.
