Chitradurga is a city and the headquarters of Chitradurga district, which is located on the valley of the Vedavati river in the central part of the Indian state of Karnataka.[3] Chitradurga is a place with historical significance which is located to the North West about 200 km from the state capital Bangalore. Chitradurga is a major tourist hub in Karnataka.

The city is renowned for its 15th century Kallina Kote or Stone Fortress. This is formed of two Kannada words: ‘Kallina’ means "Stone's" and Kote means "Fort". Other names used in Kannada are ‘Ukkina Kote": "Steel Fort" (metaphorically used to mean an impregnable fort) and ‘Yelusuttina Kote’: "Seven Circles Fort".[4]
