About:

Thomas Inman's Dungeon is a prison inside the Srirangapatna Fort constructed by a ruler of Vijayanagar Empire known as Timmanna Nayaka until 1495. It was used by Tipu Sultan to imprison Marathas and other prisoners of the war and is somewhat similar to popular Colonel Bailey’s Dungeon in the appearance. It was named after its discoverer, Thomas Inman and is really huge, 45 feet in length and 32 feet in width. This simple dungeon was lost in time and still is not visible easily but is visited by many travelers now after its discovery. It has a unique structural pattern that surely intrigues people’s mind. The River Kaveri surrounds the fort from the northern and the west directions inside which the dungeon is located. If the archaeological monuments or the historical structures impress you, must visit this exceptionally made dungeon. Its unique design can thrill anybody.
