Gingee Fort, often referred to as the "Troy of the East," is a colossal fortress that sprawls across three hills in the district of Villupuram. With its roots tracing back to the Chola dynasty, Gingee Fort gained prominence under the rule of the Vijayanagar Empire and later passed into the hands of the Marathas, the Nayaks, and the Mughals. The fort's complex structure, perched atop the hills, served both military and strategic purposes. Gingee Fort is renowned for its impregnability, earning it the moniker "Senji," meaning the "unconquerable." For more, Visit the link below:
