Vattakottai 2

There is a pond and a well are in the middle of the fort and four mandabams used as rest rooms and weapon rooms in the four sides.
There are a set of stairs, next to a steep slope, which was used to haul cannons up to the parade ground. Elephants would use the stairs on either side to drag the cannons up the slope.

Southern side we can see Kanya kumari and the beach is famous for different color soil, which is not accessible to the public now a days.
