Dindigul Fort

The Dindigul Fort or Dindigul Malai Kottai is a 17th-century hill fort, built by Madurai Nayak situated in the town of Dindigul in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. The fort was built by the Madurai Nayak king Muthu Krishnappa Nayak in 1605. In the 18th century the fort passed on to Kingdom of Mysore (Mysore Wodeyars. During the reign of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan the fort was of strategic importance. In 1799 it went to the control of the British East India Company during the Polygar Wars. There is an abandoned temple on its peak apart from few cannons. In modern times, the fort is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India and is open to tourists.
==Etymology==
Dindigul city derives its name from a portmanteau of ''Thindu'' a Tamil word which means a ledge or a headrest attached to ground and ''kal'' another Tamil word which means Rock.〔http://citypatriots.com/asia/india/tamil-nadu/dindigul〕 Appar, the Saiva poet visited the city and noted it in his works in ''Tevaram''. Dindigul finds mention in the book ''Padmagiri Nadhar Thenral Vidu thudhu'' written by the poet Palupatai sokkanathar as Padmagiri. This was later stated by U. V. Swaminatha Iyer (1855-1942) in his foreword to the above book. He also mentions that Dindigul was originally called Dindeecharam.〔
