Old, Broken, Fort, nothing much to see
The fort was built by Raja Medinirai and now it is not maintained and is in dilapidated condition. The entrance and within the fort is filled with wild bushes. Nothing Much to see. Venture at your own..

Not Worth
Go there only if you have plenty of time to waste. Shabby place and full of bushes. Fort is in a bad shape.
