The metropolitan city of Bengaluru has been undergoing rapid urbanization for the past two decades. The influx of Information Technology has taken over in the form of an IT hub. As a result, the essence of heritage has been taken aback. This study pertains to the heritage structure, Chikkajala Fort, located on the outskirts of Bengaluru Urban. The city has undergone the consequences of urbanization. Chikkajala Fort is a temple complex with a history dating from the Iron Age (1,000BCE), Hoyasalas (eleventh to fourteenth century), Vijayanagara (fourteenth to seventeenth century), Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali (seventeenth to eighteenth century), to Chettiyars during the nineteenth century. Its significance is also weighed by the values it possesses such as historical, architectural, socio-economical, and cultural values.
