Nagara

About this place

Nagara is 17 kms from Hosanagara and 84 kms from Shimoga, which is previously known Bidanur. The palace building is rectangular on plan, accommodating series of rooms and halls. The large open area to the west seems to have been used to accommodate the audience hall. A steep ramp provided at the south western end of the open courtyard abutting the outer fort wall leads to an observatory tower. On the whole, the structural remains scattered inside the fort, though the ruins, provided a representative specimen of a medieval layout forts.
