Hey Kitten,

Kittur Chennamma Fort

Located on the Pune-Bangalore highway about 40 km from Belgaum and 32 km from Dharwad, the tiny town of Kittur with its dilapidated palace, monuments, statues and the horse tongas (rickshaws) reminds you of the glories of a bygone era. The fort stands as a testimony to the great freedom struggle led by Rani Chennamma. It is said that when the fort was intact, the main porch was 100 ft long and 30 ft wide. It was supported by huge teak pillars and the roof was made of massive carved teak. The main gate of the fort was removed in 1982 and has not been replaced. The telescope through which Rani Chennamma watched the Dhruva Nakshatra (Pole Star) every morning is still here.
