Penugonda Fort- A Defence Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire (History, Art & Culture)
Product Description

Penugonda geographically occupies a strategic position. It controls a threshold midway between the Western Ghats and the lowlands of the eastern coast. Located in the dry uplands of Rayalaseema it was not coveted by the rulers of Southern India because it commanded a fertile environment but because the rugged hill on which the fort was built provided them with a stronghold in a crucial area. The Hoysalas established an outpost here so as to defend their conquests against their rivals in the east. When the rulers of Vijayanagara replaced the Hoysalas, Bukka moved to Penugonda. This indicated the thrust towards the south of this newborn empire.
