Heavy rains have been wetting the Belagavi district since Sunday. On Monday, Bailahongal, Hirebagewadi, Savadatti, Ramadurga, Athani and Gokak observed heavy rains in the district.  Residents of Savadatti, who had gathered near the fort, saw the fort's wall collapse. Savadatti was ruled by the Ratta dynasty from the 9th to 13th centuries before the capital was shifted to the erstwhile Belgaum. In 1730, after the Savanur Nawab gifted Savadatti and Dharwar villages to the Desai of Naralgund, he built the fort between 1743 and 1751.
