As indicated by the engravings, the Penukonda state was talented by the King Bukka-I to his child Virupanna. This post was worked at the season of Virupanna. This fortification was a standout amongst other resistances of the Vijayanagara kingdom. With the decrease of Vijayanagara kingdom, the Sultan of Golconda caught this post. Later Mysore Kingdom caught this stronghold quickly until the point that British surpassed after the fall of Tipu Sultan. Based on a huge slope, the enormous and forcing fortification offers a terrific perspective of the town underneath.
