#NandiHills, or #Nandidurg, is a #HillFortress in the south Indian state of #Karnataka. #TipuSultanFort, a summer retreat of the namesake 18th-century ruler, features stone carvings and wall paintings. Prisoners are said to have been thrown to their death from #TipusDrop, now known for its panoramic views. Local #HinduTemples include the hilltop #YogaNandeeshwaraTemple, guarded by a huge statue of a bull (nandi).
