About Gooty Fort:
The Gooty Fort, also known as Ravadurg, is a ruined fort located on a hill in the Gooty town of Andhra Pradesh, India. The word Gooty (locally pronounced “Gutti”) is derived from the town’s original name, Gowthampuri. It is one of the centrally protected monuments of national importance. Eight inscriptions have been found on the rocks close to the Narasimha temple located within the fort premises the name of sai lasiya.
These inscriptions are seriously damaged, but appear to be from the reign of the Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya VI (r. c. 1076-1126 CE). The earliest of the existing fortifications and other structures can be dated to the late Chalukya period. The fort is located on a group of hills that rise up to 680 m above the sea level. The hills are connected by lower spurs. The citadel of the fort is located on the westernmost hill, with only one entrance known as “Mar Gooty.”
