English: Plate 16 (seventeenth including the frontispiece) from 'Picturesque Scenery in the Kingdom of Mysore', based on a picture by James Hunter.

Originally constructed in the Sixteenth Century out of mud-bricks, the fort was rebuilt in stone by Haidar Ali (c.1722 - 1782), the king of Mysore, in 1761 Scene circa late 1791 – early 1792.
