Gingee Fort or Senji Fort (also known as Chenji Jinji or Senchi) in Tamil Nadu India is one of the surviving forts in Tamil Nadu India. It lies in Villupuram District 160 kilometres (99 mi) from the state capital Chennai and is close to the Union Territory of Puducherry. The fort is so fortified that Shivaji the Maratha king ranked it as the most impregnable fortress in India and it was called the Troy of the East by the British.
