While one climbs up the Indragiri Hill at Shravanbelgola there is a fort enclosure. From the structure it looks like this fort might have been built during the 18th century or it might have been renovated around this time.
The fort enclosure has a gate known as the ‘Bellibagilu’ meaning Silver Gate. In one of the literary works of 1780 A.D. the gate has been referred by this name.

Amazing. Beautiful pics.
love the stones used for this complex :)
Hello, Rajesh. I agree with NatureFootsteps, the stones are really something. They make me think of the dry-stone walls I saw in Scotland last year. It must have been extremely difficult to put up high dry-stone walls without them tumbling! Very impressive!
The Silver Gate is indeed beautiful.
