Nandidrug or Nandidurg is a hill fortress of southern India, in the Kolar district of Karnataka state. It is 4851 ft. above sea level. Nandidrug hill, known commonly as Nandi Hills, is the source of the Penner and Ponnaiyar rivers. Nandi Hills gets its name from an ancient Nandi temple situated on this hill. This temple has a thousand year old sculpture of Nandi. An ancient lord Shiva and Parvati temple also adorns this hill.
Nandidurg was traditionally held impregnable, and its storming by Lord Cornwallis in 1791 was one of the most notable incidents of the first war against Tipu Sultan of Mysore. It was formerly a favorite resort for British Raj officials during the hot season. Francis Cunningham built the summer residence here for Sir Mark Cubbon. |
