The place where Tipu was born: Devanahalli Fort

I just thought I will add the photos here, rather than writing a long account. This Saturday we travelled to Devanahalli Fort, a place very close to Bangalore City. Sujoy drove and Soma was the enthusiastic navigator.

For the background and history of this 500-years old fort, you can check http://www.tipusultan.org/even18.htm

Photo10: Multiple steps for soldiers to take position to create smooth supply chain
