... that sites of the Sira and Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka Fort(pictured) were considered auspicious because of a good omen of a hare chasing the hound, a common legend in building of many forts in India?
ALT1:... that the Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka Fort(pictured) made of stone and bricks spread over an area of 197.5 acres (79.9 ha) was enclosed by a moat and a well made glacis?
Overall: Passes DYK checklist. New article of 3000 characters + was submitted in time. Picture is of Commons from 2014. No copyvio detected using Earwig. QPQ done. BOTH original and ALT1 have been verified in sources. I'd lean towards original hook (under 200 limit of 187 characters) as it is more interesting to me. Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:35, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
