Question

In which Indian state is Seringapatam Fort located?

Hint:

This fort on a Kaveri river island was Tipu Sultan's capital in South India.

Answer 1

Correct answer: Karnataka
Seringapatam, also written as Srirangapatna, is a town in the Mandya district of Karnataka.
It sits on an island formed by the Kaveri River.
The fort at Seringapatam was the capital of the Kingdom of Mysore under rulers Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan.
It was the site of the fourth Anglo Mysore War in 1799, where Tipu Sultan was killed while defending the fort against British forces.
The town also has the Ranganathaswamy Temple, which gives the place its name, since Seringapatam means the town of Ranga.
Today the fort remains an important historical site connected with the resistance against British expansion in South India.
