History
Kanigiri(Rockcity) is a historic place as the capital city of the kingdom ruled by "Katama Raju" . There are some historical monuments in and around the hill. These monuments include fort, wells at lodurgam and chennamukkabai (which is a well with seven wells depth constructed by katam raju). The only way through which we can reach lodurgam is on foot, which seems like an adventure. The surroundings of it are really beautiful. Sivalayam constructed by the king katam raju is located on the hill, called "Vijayamarthandeswara Swamy" temple. In June there will be a thiranallu called as "katama raju thirunallu".
The name kanigiri is a combination of 3 Sanskrit words- KANI means -See; Giri means-Fort; Kari means -Elephant.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
