The Manora fort is situated 65-km away from Thanjavur (Tamilnadu / India). The fort was built by Rajah Serfoji in 1814 to commemorate the victory of the British over Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo. It is an 8-storied tower, which is 300-meter high from where one can have a panoramic view of the palm-fringed Bay of Bengal. The fort derives its name Manora from the word Minaret, which means a small minar.
