Siddhara Betta ( Nijagallu betta )

India / Karnataka / Tumkur /

The ancient fort on the hill may have been built by Mysore king Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar in 1690-1694 AD, but now only the outer wall remains. And after crossing the small Darga the temple will be visible. There is a small fresh water pond called akka tangi in front of the darga, which is named after Syed Badshah Shah Kareem, a Sufi saint. The hill is also called Siddhara Betta, as the 'Siddhas' were once believed to have meditated on its slopes.
