The Gingee Fort

- The Gingee Fort (also called Senji) in Tamil Nadu has been occupied by almost every major power in the region in its 1000 year history. What makes it so special that Shivaji himself once called it the most impregnable fort in India?

On my way back form an Auroville bike trip from Bangalore I stopped to admire this incredible fort. It was so hot that summer morning that I could not find a way to take all my gear and climb. And so the opportunity to see it closely slipped away. Happy to get to know about it better with this video.
Its a beautiful fort, have climbed its stairs many time. Best time to visit is November December when temperatures are cooler.
When I tried to visit it at 7 AM in the cool morning it was closed. Come back at 9, 9.30 AM the bureaucrats told. The heat/ sun keeps away many more tourists because of this.
Good❤❤
Is it the Senji Fort? Why called as Gingee....
I too questioned before. Its just Gingee is British version of Senji.
@@senthilveeran1723 Thank you, but the native pronunciation can atleast be followed now.
@@dhanurekha6978 Agree
Chan
Kalinjar fort is More impregnable
Your videos are always too fast, difficult to listen and read the written details at the same time.
Hope u slow down a bit.
The tower like strucure I think belongs to Vijaya Nagara period.
Yes, the Gingee Nayaks also contributed many structures inside the fort.
Are you Indian?
Here we dont call elders/parents by their first name.
Learn to say chhatrapati shivaji/Shivaji Maharaj.
Its common senss.
Chappati Shivaji is quiet an accurate name ✌
