Explanation

Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1782 to 1799, established his capital at Srirangapatna (also known as Seringapatam). This fortified island city on the Kaveri River near Mysore was where his royal palace (the Daria Daulat Bagh) and the famous Srirangapatna Fort were located. Anekal, Chamundeshwari, and Hulakoti are not historically associated with Tipu Sultan's capital.
