LOST HERITAGE OF FORT SETTLEMENT - A CASE STUDY ON DEVANAHALLI FORT, INTRODUCTION: With rapid growth in population, urbanization seems to wrap its arms around the heritage fabric, assimilating within it all its cultural charm, its traditions and its very existence. Intense vandalization of rural fabric with replacement of modern era buildings seems to supersede the cultural techniques and the sense of tradition in the settings. In the expansive demand for jobs, opportunities, and buildings to accommodate all of it, the places which symbolize the local history and its significance becomes miniscule and nullified by the ferocious wave of urbanization. This paper is an effort to study and exhibit the potential of a victim of urbanization, Devanahalli fort and to forward few guidelines to save and retain its originality to supply it for the knowledge of future generation to understand the local history.

  • Bangalore (Or ???????? Bengaluru, ['Be?G??U??U] ( Listen)) Is the Capital City O F the Indian State of Karnataka
    Bangalore (or ???????? Bengaluru, ['be?g??u??u] ( listen)) is the capital city o f the Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Deccan Plateau in the south-east ern part of Karnataka. Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-m ost populous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of In dia because of its position as nation's leading Information technology (IT) expo rter.[7][8][9] Located at a height of over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above sea level, Bangalore is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year.[10] The city i s amongst the top ten preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world.[11] A succession of South Indian dynasties, the Western Gangas, the Cholas, and the Hoysalas ruled the present region of Bangalore until in 1537 CE, Kempé Gowda a feu datory ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern Bangalore. Following transitory occupation by the Ma rathas and Mughals, the city remained under the Mysore Kingdom. It later passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, and was captured by the Bri tish after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned administr ative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore. The old city developed in t he dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore, and was made capital of the Princely Sta te of Mysore, which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj. In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore, outside the old city , and a town grew up around it, which was governed as part of British India.
