ABSTRACT
The Mission of Carnat extends southwards as far as Gingí [Injee or Gingi], capital of a small state which was taken by the famous Sevagi [the Mahratta Sivaji] sixty years ago, whose son was conquered by Oranzeb [Aurangzib], Emperor of Mogol, after he had subjected the kingdoms of Golconda and Visapore [Visapur]. The fortress of Gingí is singular, being built on three hills forming a triangle and on each hill stands a fort, and they are connected together by walls and towers. The city lies at the foot of those hills and is dominated by the fortress.
