The formal ceremony, while laying the foundation for the fort, was very auspicious as it represented five signs of victory. The square-shaped fort has two main gates, of which the main entry gate (the "Nagar khana") has elaborate architectural features. There are many temples and palaces within the fort and a victory tower.Address : Head Post Office Rd, Jonnaguddi Area, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh 535003, India
