Defence Architecture in Early North Karnataka c9.s1.2

c9.s1.2

In view of the importance of fort architecture on the one hand and the lack of sufficient study of such forts in the North Karṇāṭaka on the other, a detailed survey of these forts was found necessary and therefore was undertaken by me. The present attempt is essentially concerned with a thorough description of selected forts of important places and of different important periods based on actual field survey. The field data has been critically analysed to understand the development of fort architecture and their implications in response to the changing political conditions, advanced technology of armours and tacts of wars.
