Strong Links To The Past – Tourist Places In And Around Nandi Hills The Nandi Hills have a rather interesting history. Mystery surrounds its origins. Some say that the name derives from the fact that the hills have the shape of a sleeping bull. There are indications that the hills existed in the Chola period under the name Ananda Giri. Temple architecture that is typical of the Chola period does exist in these hills and the hills are also a part of India's early freedom struggle, as Tipu Sultan built a fort here called the Nandidurg, which was regarded as an impregnable fort. However, it did fall to the British in 1791. A visit to Nandi Hills can be memorable.
