About:

Obelisk in Srirangapatna was built in the memory by the then government of Mysore in memory of the English soldiers who died during the capture of Srirangapatna. The Obelisk stands at the center of an expansive and concentric series of steps, on a high point close to the fort walls.The four plaques fixed on the square base is inscribed with various details. Above the base structure is a conical projection supported by four cannonballs. Another canon ball is fixed the the very top too. The inscription on one side reads  " This monument is erected by the government of Mysore in 1907 in order to commemorate the siege of Seringapatam by the British forces under lieutenant general G. Harris and its final capture by assault on the 4th May 1799. Also the names of those gallant officers who fell during the operations."Unlike many other attractions around, this part of the fort is relatively isolated and also often covered with bushes.
