The hill fort
The fort's walls climb the boulder-covered hill in successive rings. On the poster the hill is a broad open shape with only a few paths, which sets it clearly apart from the town below.

The map
About this Chitradurga map poster
Chitradurga, a district headquarters in central Karnataka, grew at the foot of a rocky hill covered in enormous granite boulders. Crowning it is Chitradurga Fort, a stone fortress built up over several centuries and strengthened by the Nayaka rulers of the region. On a map the fort shows as a large, nearly empty area of hillside, with the town's streets crowded tightly around its lower edge.
The fort is known locally as Elu Suttina Kote, the fort of seven rounds, after its concentric lines of walls. One of the town's best-known stories concerns Onake Obavva, a woman remembered for defending a gap in the walls with a wooden pestle during a siege in the eighteenth century. The national highway between Bengaluru and Pune passes close to the town.
A Chitradurga map poster brings out an unusual composition. Where most towns have a dense centre, this one has a hollow of rock and ramparts surrounded by streets. In black and white the contrast is sharp: dense lanes on one side, the pale mass of the hill on the other, and the lines of fortification between them.

The old town
The streets closest to the fort are narrow and irregular, following the curve of the hill's base. They are the most densely drawn part of the map.
Highway corridor
The main highway runs past the town as a long, straight line. Its rigid course contrasts with the curving streets and the rough outline of the hill.

Why Chitradurga
A map that means something
Chitradurga is a strong choice for anyone with roots in the district, or for travellers who climbed the fort and remember the view over the rooftops. It reads well at larger sizes, where the rings of walls and the dense old streets have room to show.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can all be changed, so the poster can name a family home, a college year or a special date. Choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Noir makes the pale hill stand out especially clearly.
