c12.s3.3

The fort wall has two narrow entrances one on the southern side (Fig.32, Fig. 28 and Fig.29) the other on the western both nearer the south-western corner (Fig.32). The entrances are directly open on the exterior side. The plan of this fort indicates that the North Hill was the acropolis of the Bādāmi Chālukyas and it was enlarged by including some part at the foot of the hill in the valley enclosed by the ground fort.
