Panchalankurichi - Kattabomman Fort
Panchalankurichi was ruled during 18th century A.D. by poligars of Kattabommu family . The great hero Veerapandiya Kattabomman ruled this region as the fourth ruler . The port was demolished during 1786 A.D. by colonel Bullorton . Then it was reconstructed by Veerapandiya Kattabomman.
But again Major Bannerman attacked Panchalankurichi and demolished the fort during 1799 A.D. this fort was again erected by Umaithurai , younger brother of Veerapandiya Kattabomman with clay and jaggery juice within 6 days . Colonel macaulay finally destroyed this fort

@RtnArulPrakasamT There is so much value in visiting heritage places in small towns. Good to get to know this place. And good to know a bit of the history of the place also.
Just sharing the Google Maps location for other readers who are keen to visit: https://goo.gl/maps/qcbEunytNUJA49a78
It would be nice to see at least a photo of the participants directly in the post because we want to celebrate members who come together. I saw at least some photos in the album which are great to be on the post itself 
Keep up the good work celebrating local places.

Yes, I read it, but I thought you need to show it somehow on Connect too, or as soon as you posted 50 approved 360 pictures on Google Maps you got the badge automatically on your Connect page too?
