    Its an old masjid inside the Tipu sultan fort. Looking at the current state, it's not maintained properly. As per the discussion with locals, the local people only help to keep it running. Considering the legacy of the great Tipu Sultan it's sad to see that the government hasn't spent a penny on its maintenance.

    A big area, fort was bombed during 1799 and remains are easily spottable. Inside the fort there are so many things to see - samadhi, water gate for narmada river, ranganathsamy temple , Obelisk being the last point and the most beautiful view. We went in our car and it was smooth, kept stopping in every spot being hardly 500 mtrs away. Worth visiting.

    Not a big infra. One can go around in 15-30’mins . All surfaces painted with bright colours. Since it is maintained by the archeological survey of India, the garden and palace are well kept.

    Its a precious jewel as far as an historian is concerned. A model ro show the students of history. A naturally protected place with the Kavery river on its three sides, its a lagoon of an egg shape. The period of Tippu was an era of Britishers aggressive for its territorial domination on India. The Mysore was a threat to them as Tipu's weapons and style of war with well fortified area made the British feel shame. The fort is enough to study Tippus war tactics. A wonderful fort that every visitor has to go and study. At 7pm there is a light and sound shows.

    The Gumbaz at Srirangapatna is a mausoleum at the centre of a beautiful garden, with the graves of Hyder Ali & his wife. It was built by Tippu Sultan to house the graves of his parents. After his death, the British allowed Tippu to be buried here.

    This place is really rich is history and heritage. The actual fir has no entries except ine called the water gate using which the british had captured tge fort and Tipu sultan was also killed here near the gate. This place is totally negleted by the tourism department and is not maintained at all. We were luck to meet Mr. Gopal, who has made it his life mission to help tourists and promite tourism. He served as an execllent guide for us. He explained everything in detail and also showed us places that normally one would miss. The best part is that he does not demand any money and is happy with whatever you give him out of your own volition at the end. So if you visit srinrangapatna, where the firt is located, please look for him for an excellent experience.

    There is only ruins of fort. Still water gate, dungeons, lal Mahal palace like few structures are there. Tippu sultan death place- a monument inside a compound. Should visit Ranganatha swamy temple, made up of stones.

    Wonders and wonders. If you are a person who loves history, especially of freedom fighters,you will definitely love visiting this place. Trust me this is a demolished palace of where tipu lived in Srirangapatna.

    Actually the fort is not visible as such. It spread across Sreerangapattanam. You can see parts of it everywhere in sreerangapattanam. Better to seek help of a local guide to understand everything. Then only you will get an idea about the place. You can see a miniature model of sreerangapattanam in Daria Doulat Bag. That model also helps a lot to understand the place.

    Didn’t find anything as mentioned according to this location. Asked locals about it but they informed they are unaware of such a location and pointed towards the palace which we visited already. Here in this location it has a Ganesha temple downstairs instead. Not sure if this location is even correct. Explored nearby places but didn’t find anything like a fort or fort ruins.

    If you are planning for Mysore trip, should spend time to explore srirangapattana, where you must visit 1. Obelisk It is a memorial erected by the then government of Mysore in memory of the English soldiers died during the siege of Srirangapatna. 2. Colonel Bailey's Dungeon It was the place where Tipu Sultan used to imprison all the British officers. 3.Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple 4. Lal Mahal, tippus palace 5. Tippus death palace - where the tippus body was found 6. Jumma masjid 7. Daria Daulat Bagh Also called tippus summer palace,The palace is built in the Indo-Saracenic style is mostly made of teakwood 8. Tipu Sultan Gumbaz The Gumbaz is an impeccably detailed mausoleum and houses the remains of Tipu Sultan, his father Hyder Ali and his mother Fatima Begum among beautifully manicured gardens

    Most of the place is ruined. Restoration work has been done but not efficient. They have converted the place for a light show at 7.30 pm with entry fee. We did not go in as we thought it was not worth it.

    Srirangapatna Fort is a historical fort located in Srirangapatna, the historical capital city of the Kingdom of Mysore in present-day South Indian state of Karnataka. Built by the Timmanna Nayaka in 1454, the fort was modified by later rulers and fully fortified in the late 18th century with the help of French architects. Rulers wanted to protect it against British invaders associated with the East India Company. Rivers protect the fort on three sides. The river Kaveri borders the fort in one direction; in the West and Northern directions it is protected by the river Cauvery. The fort contained Lal Mahal and Tipu's palace, which were demolished when the British captured it in 1799. There are seven outlets and two dungeons. Several structures and elements are maintained as protected monuments under the Bangalore Circle of the Archaeological Survey of India: Colonel Bailey's Dungeon; Daria Daulat Bagh; Gumbaj containing tomb of Tipu Sultan; Juma Masjid (Masjid-E-Ala); Obelisk monuments, and Fort walls near the breach the spot where Tipu's Body was found; the Sri Kanthirava statue in Narasimha Temple; Sri Ranganatha Svami Temple; and Thomas Inman's Dungeon.

    Tipu Sultan Fort in Tamil Nadu is a captivating historical site. The architecture reflects its rich heritage, and the surrounding lush greenery adds to its charm. Although not well-maintained, the fort's significance and the insights into Tipu Sultan's era make it a worthwhile visit for history enthusiasts.

    Very good place, historical place

  • 5/5 Harshal D. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is not crowd appealing or outstanding for normal crowd as this deals with historic facts kept in a mueseum in the centre. All the facts related to Tippu and his brave conflicts are painted/captured inside the mueseums. Ppl who love historic things will surely get fascinated. But what fascinated me more was the calm Kaveri River at the back side of this mueseum. Very less ppl I guess know about the sitting stairs which goes till Kaveri... Which is flowing behind this place. Absolutely awesome and mind refreshing place.

    This place holds the equipment of freedom fighter who is well known as hazrat tippu sultan and he his also called tiger of mysore❤

  • 5/5 Nadiya F. 2 years ago on Google
    You can feel how the tiger Tippu sultan defended and how he was a nightmare for British invaders in colonization of our country. The fortification of fortress, immunization godown, dungeons....If you know little history, you can relate to the spot and really appreciate the struggle of the tiger and his people.
