Droogs
Droogs are steep rocks which dot the surface of Mysore and Tamil Nadu, India. The rocks are prominent monoliths and may resemble hay-ricks, some of which are 1,500 ft high, and some of which have springs on the top. They provide formidable sites for fortification because most are scalable only by steps cut in them. There is a famous droog at Tiruchiripalli in Tamil Nadu, also known as the Rock Fort. This is climbed by 434 steps cut into the rock face. Temples to Ganesha and Shiva have been built there. Droogs were used as sites for his theodolite by Colonel William Lambton while Suerintendant of the Geological Survey of India in the 19th century. The survey was completed by Sir George Everest for whom Mount Everest is named. The survey, commissioned by the East India Company, laid the foundation for building the extensive Indian railway system. Excerpt from "Gods, Guides and Gurus'" John Hatchard If the Madurai skyline was dominated by the huge Gopuram towers of the Meenakshi temple, Trichy’s was dominated by a spectacular granite outcrop crowned by a fort and a temple. The view from the top had to be spectacular so it was a place to visit. We had passed similar upstanding natural features on the way here, huge granite monoliths, smooth and rounded like an elephants back and spectacularly water stained. These outcrops, found all over southern India, were called droogs. In most places they provided easily defended sites where local chieftains could base themselves. Here in Trichy it was presumably the same story. As time went by temples were added and the place became more important.
