History Of Chandragiri Fort
Bekal, Kerala, India
Chandragiri Fort is an important historical monument perched atop a hill overlooking the confluence of the majestic Chandragiri River and the Arabian Sea. The fort was built in the 17th century by Shivappa Nayaka of the Keladi dynasty as a strategic military outpost to protect the region. The river, which gets its name from the fort, once marked the traditional boundary between the Tulu Nadu and Malayalam speaking regions. The structure, though smaller and more partially ruined than the massive Bekal Fort, holds significant historical and architectural value, primarily for its commanding location. Standing on the fort walls, visitors are treated to a stunning panoramic vista of the river winding its way through the lush landscape before meeting the open sea. This view is its most famous feature. The fort complex is enclosed by massive laterite walls, and though many structures within the walls are now ruins, the large laterite ramparts, some bastions, and the overall polygonal design remain largely intact. It is most famous for being one of the best spots in the entire Kasaragod district to witness a truly spectacular sunset, with the sun dipping below the Arabian Sea horizon, often coloring the river waters in vibrant hues. The fort is currently maintained by the State Archaeology Department, making it a peaceful and historically enriching tourist destination that perfectly complements a visit to the coastal Bekal area.
