Jamalabad is famous for its fort built by Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore
in 1794. The fort was renamed after his mother Jamalbee. The village,
which lies at the foot of a high rock, forms a part of the Kudremukh range
of hills near Belthangadi.
The fort was formerly known by the name, 'Narasimha Hangadi'. The village
is at the fort of a high rock forming the business of a long span from
Kudremukh.
The fort was captured by the British, in 1799 AD. The ruins of the rock on
which the fort stands is inaccessible except by one narrow path, only
