Chandragiri Fort & Raja Mahal
July 13, 2026·1 min read
About 11–12 km from Tirupati, this impressive 11th-century fort served as the fourth and final capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Spread across 25 acres, it features the well-preserved Raja Mahal—now an archaeological museum housing sculptures, coins, and historical documents—plus the Rani Mahal and stunning panoramic views from the Upper Fort ramparts. An evening sound-and-light show with 3D holography effects brings the fort's royal history to life.
