Gingee Fort

|
| Gingee Fort also known as Chinji or Jinji in Tamil Nadu, India is one of the few surviving forts in Tamil Nadu — which is much more popular for its temples than forts. It lies in Villupuram district, 160 km from the state capital, Chennai, and is close to the union territory of Pondicherry. So well fortified was this place that Shivaji ranked it as the "most impregnable fortress in India" and it was called the "Troy of the East" by the British. |
