Devanahalli Fort is located north of Bangalore city, at Devanahalli in the State of Karnataka, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A frozen moment of history )〕 It was originally built in 1501 by Mallabairegowda,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Around Nandi Hills ) 〕 which remained in the hands of his descendants until the mid–eighteenth century. In 1749, the then Dalwai of Mysore, Nanjarajaiah, attacked the fort and occupied it. Later, the fort passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and subsequently Tipu Sultan.〔 In 1791, Lord Cornwallis laid siege to the fort and took possession during the Anglo-Mysore War. The birthplace of Tipu Sultan, also known as ''Tiger of Mysore'', is located near to the fort.〔 The fort is situated on the side of National Highway 7, near the Bengaluru International Airport. An Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) board outside the fort and at Tipu Sultan's birthplace declares them to be protected monuments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alphabetical List of Monuments — Karnataka — Bangalore )〕 ==History== The history of Devanahalli dates back to 15th century, when a family of fleeing refugees from Conjeevaram (modern day Kanchi), camped near the foot of Ramaswami betta, east of Nandi Hills. Their leader Rana Baire Gowda was apparently directed in a dream to set up a settlement in this region. He and his ''Morasu Wokkalu'' family settled in a small village, Ahuti, which was later known as Avati. His son Malla Baire Gowda founded Devanahalli, Chikka-ballapura and Dodda-ballapura.Kempegowda, the founder of Bangalore city is also from ''Morasu Wokkalu'' family.〔 Devanahalli was part of Gangawadi and later came under the rule of Rashatrakutas, Nolamba, Pallavas, Cholas, Hoysalas and the Vijayanagara rulers. During the time of Vijayanagra rule, Malla Baire constructed the initial mud fort in 1501 AD with the consent of Devaraya at Devanadoddi, the previous name of Devanahalli. In 1747 AD, the fort passed into the hands of the Wodeyars of Mysore under the command of Nanja Raja. It was conquered many times from the Marathas and later came under the control of Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan. Tipu also renamed it as Yousafabad (the abode of Yousuf, the finest man) which never got popular.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Devanahalli:: Here, a star was born :: - Birthplace of Tipu Sultan )〕 The fort finally fell into the British, under Lord Cornwallis in 1791, during the Mysore War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Devanahalli Fort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
