| 説明 | Ballalarayana Durga fort in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka is one unique fort .This isolated fort can only be reached by trekking through the hilly forest region. It is situated in Bettabalige that stands in the midst of Chikmagalur’s Kottegehara village and the Kalasa temple-town. It is one of the few forts that can be found in the Western Ghats.The Ballalarayana Durga fort was constructed by the wife of Veera Ballala l who was the king of the Hoysala Empire in the 12th century. The Hoysalas were known to be patrons of art and architecture and built several temples and a few forts during their rule. The Ballalarayana fort was built in the Karnata Dravida style of architecture, the architectural style that was popular in the Hoysala Empire during their rule.There is an ancient Kalabyraveshwara temple that is situated just below the fort. Legend has it that Ballala l and his wife used to visit the temple every day.Situated atop a hill that is 1509 metres high, the fort overlooks the town of Sunkasaale. The fort has lost its glory and stands as a distant reminder of its beautiful past. You can find just a few shattered walls of the fort when the mist just cleared for a while as an existing proof of the grand structure that had once stood there with pride. In its completely ruined and dilapidated condition the fort remains.Though enjoy the beauty of the surrounding green thick forests with steep slopes . The ruined fort presents a breath-taking view of the surroundings. The engulfing greenery charms visitors at all times of the year. |
