Devanahalli (Bengaluru) - BirthPlace of Tipu Sultan & Rising City

Devanahalli is a Municipal Council in Bangalore district in the Karnataka.

The famous ruler Tipu Sultan was born in Devanahalli in 1750 AD. A signboard and a stone tablet surrounded by fields state publicly the birthplace of Tipu.



Present is the Devanahalli Fort, build during Vijayanagara period by a  lord Malla Baire Gowda of Avati in 1501 AD . The fort remained in the hands of his descendants until the mid seventeenth century. In 1749, the then Dalwai of Mysore - Nanjarajaiah, attacked the fort and occupied it. Later, the fort passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and subsequently Tipu Sultan. In 1791, Lord Cornwallis laid siege to the fort and took possession during the Mysore War.




The palace once owned by Tipu and Hyder Ali can be seen to this day. The Dewan Purnaiah, a high ranking official during the time of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, also had a haveli here.
