Defence Architecture in Early North Karnataka c3.2

c3.2

Nevertheless these forts are referred to incidentally, with a very few illustrations of the general views of one or two forts of them, no serious attempt has been made to study them in detail, with clearcut objectives. Hence, in order to trace the development of fort architecture and to evaluate the military genius; a systematic and thorough survey of the forts in these places was undertaken by me. The study of these forts based on the field survey forms the subject matter of this Doctoral thesis.
