Located on the banks of #RiverAghanashini, #MirjanFort is a royal reminder of our glorious history. It is situated about 11 km from the town of #Kumta in #Karnataka and is spread over an area of 4.1 hectares. The fort is also believed to be a site for many past battles in 16th and 17th Century and was functional till 1785. Later, the British captured this fort and used it for their armoury. It is embellished with remarkable architecture of the bygone era, such as canals, moats, secret passageways and various other considerations to fortify its grounds. The splendid fort truly gives the impression of a fairytale castle all covered with grass and overgrowth. This time-tested building is constructed from locally available laterite stone and is believed to be built in 1608-1640 A.D. by Queen Chennabharadevi, who was known as the pepper queen of India. Legend says that this was one of the most important places for the Foreign trades in Spices with Dutch, Portuguese and British. It has been declared as a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and has gone through some recent renovations to improves its quality. In the year 2001, several archaeological excavations were also conducted by the organisation that unearthed several laterite structures belonging to the medieval period. Other antiquarian findings such as gold coins attributed to Portuguese Viceroy Conde De Sarzedas have also been found along with cannon balls, Chinese porcelain, and clay tablets with Islamic inscriptions. It is believed that there was a hidden treasure in the fort complex that was later stolen by the Britishers. Nestled amidst the idyllic surrounding this historical monument is a lost gem in the tourism landscape of the country. Every year on independence day, Indian flag is hoisted on the fort. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jjm3wBhvy/?igshid=eb7wdhjqv1nu

#TheMirjanFort is located on the west coast of the #UttaraKannada district in the southern Indian state of #Karnataka. The fort known for its architectural elegance was the location of several battles in the past. It is about 0.5 kilometres from the National Highway 66 and 11 kilometres from Gokarna, the famous Hindu pilgrimage centre on the west coast of India. According to the first historical version, Queen Chennabhairadevi of Gersoppa (under the #VijayanagaraEmpire) was initially credited with building the #MirjanFort in the 16th century. She ruled for 54 years and also lived in the fort. During her reign, the port at Mirjan, which is 32 kilometres to the south east of Karwar, was used for shipping pepper, saltpetre and betel nut to Surat. Gersoppa, a district annexed to Bednur, was famous for the pepper exported from this region. Consequently, the Portuguese gave the epithet "Rani, the Pepper queen" (“Rainha de Pimenta” in Portuguese) to the Queen of Gersoppa. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5M5OBZB1_v/?igshid=1oh5lf57ymf96
