Nagara

Karnataka, India

Nagara is a historic village located in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka, India. It was once known as Bidanur and served as the last capital of the Keladi Nayakas kingdom during the 16th century.

The village is famous for the Nagara Fort, built by King Shivappa Nayaka, which stands on a raised area near a lake and offers panoramic views of the surroundings. The fort, which has remains of a palace, watchtowers, and a unique water circulation system, later came under the control of Hyder Ali in 1763.

Nagara is surrounded by green forests and is part of a scenic region known as Malenadu, making it attractive for visitors interested in history, nature, and nearby sites like Jog Falls and Kollur Mookambika temple.

The village also played a role in regional resistance during the Nagar revolt against Mysore rule in the 19th century. It is reachable by road from various towns in Karnataka, with the nearest airport being in Mangalore.
