Bhongir Fort is a fort located in Bhongir, Nalgonda district, Telangana, India.
It is located on a huge rock at a commanding height.
It was built in the 10th century on an isolated monolithic rock by
the Western Chalukya ruler Tribhuvanamalla Vikramaditya VI
and was thus named after him as Tribhuvanagiri.
At the foot of the fortified rocks 609.6 meters above the sea level
stands the town of Bhongir, it has unique egg-shaped
constructed with two entry points protected by huge rocks,
so the fort was considered practically impregnable by invading armies.
The fort is associated with the rule of queen Rudramadevi and her grandson Prataparudra II.
