Yadgir Fort

Yadgir Fort, also called Yetagiri, crowns a rock monolith about 100 metres high, 500 metres wide and 850 metres long, overlooking the town of Yadgir in Karnataka. It is thought to have been built under the Western Chalukyas before passing to the Yadavas, and later holders included the Bahmani Sultanate, the Adil Shahis and the Nizams. Gulam Yazdani surveyed it in 1929–30.

Five inscriptions survive inside. Three date from the 10th or 11th century, one of them crediting the fort to a Jagganath from Sagar; two belong to Ibrahim Adil Shah I, one from 1546 at the entrance to the Moti Talib and one from 1573 on a mosque wall. Within the walls are cannons up to 10 inches across, barracks, three old Hindu temples, a medieval mosque, flag bastions, wells and channels, and underground chambers that may have served as stores or hiding places.
