Gingee Fort

Gingee Fort also known as Chinji or Jinji in Tamil Nadu. In India this is one of the few surving forts in Tamil Nadu, the fort consists of three hills. The walls of the fort are a mixture of the naturally hilly terrain comprising the Krishnagiri, Chakkilidrug and Rajagiri hills. After the fort passed into British hands, it did not see any further action. The fort at Gingee was declared a National Monument in 1921 and was under the Archeological Department.



For photography, you can take still pictures and no tripods allowed inside the fort. If you want to use tripods, permission is needed from the ASI, Chennai. Yet to know the procedure but then will update on my blog once I get information.
