Bhatner Fort History:

The Bhatner fort is situated at Hanumangarh district (jila, जिला) in Rajasthan, India, about 419 km northwest of Jaipur, Capital of Rajasthan, along the old Multan-Delhi route and 230 km north-east of Bikaner. The old name of Hanumangarh was Bhatner, which means “fortress of the Bhati”. Amazingly, it is believed to be 1700 years old, it is considered to be one of the oldest forts of India.

It was built by Bhupat in 253AD. He was son of the king Bhati of Jaisalmer. They were Bhati Rajputs. The history says that king Bhupat had lost the battle against the Sultan of Ghazni, and he took shelter in the jungle around the Ghaggar River. There, he constructed this great fort for himself which was named as ‘Bhatner’. The entire fort is built of bricks. It covers an area of about 23 Acres.

Therefore, Bhatner fort is about 1700 years old.  It is considered to be one of the oldest Forts of India. It is situated in Hanumangarh, Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan. The Old name of Hanumangarh was Bhatner which means ‘Fortress of Bhatti’.  It is perhaps the most neglected and least visited fort of India.

Many Historians wrote about Bhatner

This formidable fort has been mentioned in his writings by Chinese traveler Huen Tsang, by Timur in his autobiography ‘Tuzuk -e-Timuri’ and also by Mughal Emperor Akbar in his book ‘Ain-i-Akbari’. Its strategic location on the Delhi-Multan route attracted many Muslim raiders. It was also referred to as ‘Tabarhind’ or outer gate of Hind.

How the Name ‘Hanumangarh was given

The fort was given its new name ‘Hanumangarh’ in 1805 by Maharaja Surat Singh of Bikaner Maharaja Surat Singh captured it on a holy day of Hindus the ‘Tuesday’.  It is the day of Hindu God, Hanuman.  That is why the name ‘Hanumangarh’ was given to this fort.

Many Temples are built inside

One look at the erstwhile massive monument is enough to fill you with awe as to its original magnificence. The gigantic barricades, towering gates, rounded bastions, the fine bricks, 52 huge reservoirs or kunds for storing rainwater, the well thought of drainage system are beyond description.

Sherkhan Tomb

There is an ancient building and the tomb of Sher Khan, the nephew of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din-Balban. Records also tell about a secret tunnel.

The Magnificent Fort needs attention

Historically invincible, this formidable fort of yore is today, ironically gasping for life. All that remains is brick shanties, dilapidated in parts, near ruins in others.

Overall a dismal monument mutely witnessing its crumbling ramparts. No doubt some repair and renovation work has been done from time to time, but it is not enough. Visitors get disappointed. However, a walk through the gardens can be quite pleasant and peaceful.

For the locals, it is a great place for morning/evening walks. Many can be seen engaged in yoga practice also during the wee hours.

Though not strongly recommended for a detour, yet, you might just lift up the soul of the fort with your visit. After all, it has played its part heroically!

History of Jaisalmer Fort

According to the legends, the fort was constructed by a Bhati ruler – Rawal Jaisal. Near 1293-94, Rawal Jethsi suffered a siege for 8-9 years by Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Delhi as revenge. After facing defeat, the male warriors died in the battle and the women committed Jauhar. The fort remained abandoned for a few years and eventually got reoccupied by some Bhatis.

Around 1530–1551 during Rawal Lunakaran’s reign the fort was attacked by Amir Ali. When it seemed that they are fighting a losing battle, the women of their community were slaughtered by him as there wasn’t enough time to conduct a Jauhar. Fortunately, help arrived right after that and the army of Jaisalmer successfully defended the fort.

It is said that Humayun also attacked the fort. Rawal Lunakaran fought with him. Later there was some talk about the marriage of his daughter to Akbar. Hence, the Mughals ruled the fort till 1762. It was under the Mughals until 1762 when Maharawal Mulraj took over. From 1818, Mulraj controlled the fort and protected it from invasion. This was the result of the treaty between him and the East India Company. After his death in 1820, his grandson Gaj Singh got control of the fort.

The British rule led to an emergence of trade and later growth of the port of Bombay resulted in the gradual economic decline of the city. After independence, the ancient trade route was closed and it did not hold up as a military post, Jaisalmer is still able to earn revenues through tourism.

Kangra Fort History:

The fort was built around the 4th century BC by the Rajputs of Katoch Dynasty. It is known to be one of the oldest and the largest fort in the Himalayas.

It is believed that this grand fort was built by Maharaja Susharma Chandra of Katoch dynasty. You might know that Susharma Chandra fought for Kauravas, in Mahabharata battle. When the Kauravas lost the battle, he came to Kangra along with his soldiers instead of going back to his capital in Multan. This area of Kangra was called by the name Trigarta at the time of Mahabharata because of three rivers: Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi. He took this area under his control and built the Kangra fort to protect his kingdom.

Kangra Fort History Stares

“Many Historians claim that the Kangra fort has got 21 treasure wells. The depth of wells is about 4 meters and the circumference of the wells is about 2 and a half meters. It is said that Sultan of Ghazni looted eight wells. The British found another five wells in the year 1890 to 95. Local people believe that there are eight more hidden treasure wells in the fort”.

Muslim Rulers:

The fort and the temples there had a lot of Gold, Silver and Precious Stones. Therefore, it was an attraction for the various kings. There was a saying whosoever holds the Kangra Fort, holds the hills of Himalayas.

It was controlled and ruled over by different rulers. Mahmud Ghazni(1009), Firuz Shah Tughluq (1360) and Sher Shah (1540) were the most prominent rulers of the fort.

Akbar could not seize the fort. Later his son Jahangir (Salim) with the help of his Punjab Governor Murtaza Khan tried to take the fort under control but he failed. That time Kangra Fort was under control of Raja Hari Chand II. Jahangir failed even after taking help of Rajput Suraj Mal. Suraj Mal was the cousin of Jodha Bai, mother of Jahangir

Later the Prince Khurram, son of Jahangir, was in charge of it for weeks and the siege lasted for 14 months. The supplies to the fort were cut off and the troops of Rajputs survived on boiled dry grass. After uncountable deaths and starvation, they surrendered by the end of 1620. Then in 1621, Jahangir visited and built a mosque inside Kangra fort.

The Katoch attacked Mughals repeatedly trying to weaken them, which eventually aided to the decline of the Mughals. In 1789, Raja Sansar Chand II reconquered his ancestral fort.

Battle with Gurkhas & Maharaja Ranjit Singh:

Later Maharaja Sansar Chand (1765-1823) went through several battles with Gurkhas and Sikh King Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He used to imprison his neighboring Kings and this resulted in conspiracies against him.

During the Kangada battle, the gates of the fort had been kept open for supplies between the Sikhs and Katochs. In 1806, the Gorkhali army entered the scarcely armed gates which led to an alliance of Maharaja Sansar Chand and Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Gurkha General Amar Singh Thapa surrounded the Kangra Fort with his army for quite some time. Sansar Chand lost patience and asked  Maharaja Ranjit Singh for help. In return, Ranjit Singh asked for the possession of the fort.  Sansar Chand agreed to this.

After a never-ending Gurkhas-Sikh War, the Gurkhas gave up and abandoned the fort. After the death of Sansar Chand, the Katochs ruled over the fort until 1828 and then Ranjit Singh took over.

In 1846 after the Sikh war, the fort was taken over by the British and they ruled over the fort till April 4, 1905 when the fort suffered a massive earthquake.

Structure:

The fort entrance is through a gate named Ranjit Singh which was designed with stone carvings. From there a long narrow passage goes through the Jahangiri Darwaza and then Ahni and Amiri Darwazas leading to the top of the fort. The Darshani Darwaza leads to defaced statues of River Goddesses Ganga and Yamuna.

There are three main temples in the fort- Ambika Devi Temple, the Shitlamata Temple, and Lakshmi Narayan Temple. There is another temple dedicated to Jain Tirthankaras with a stone image of Lord Adinath. The staircase between Ambika Devi temple and Shitlamata temple leads to the Sheesh Mahal. The Mahal has a small hall-like compartment which is designed with a block of stone with a polygonal watch towards the edge. The ruins of a historical mosque can be found inside the Andheri Darwaza. Another significant attraction of the fort is a stepwell called Kapoor Sagar.

Make sure you visit Kangra Fort when you’re in Himachal to experience the beauty and architecture of one of the most prominent historical monuments of ancient India.

Amer Fort History:

Raja Alan Singh, one of the rulers of the Chanda Clan from the Meenas began the foundation of Amer in 967 CE.

The Amber Fort is built on the ruins of another building, which was a part of Raja Man Singh- The Kachwala King’s empire. The fort was later built entirely by Jai Singh I (1611–1667) , Raja Man Singh’s heir.

After almost 150 years, the Amer fort was renovated. This stopped once the Kachwahas during the era of Sawai Jai Singh II (1688–1743) moved their capital to Jaipur in 1727.

Jaigarh Fort of Rajasthan was the first Rajput building built by Raja Kakil Dev when he chose Amber as his Capital in 1036. However, most of the buildings in Amber were established & expanded during the 1600s when Raja Man Singh was the ruler. One of the main buildings is the ‘Diwan’-i-Khas’ in Amber palace & the Ganesh Poll which was painted by Mirza Raja Jai Singh I with many interesting/beautiful intricate details.

Diwan-e-Khas Amber Fort History

The structure which is known as Amer Palace today was built in the late 16th century as an extension to the existing dwelling of the rulers. The older palace – Kadaimi Mahal which is situated in the valley behind Amer palace, is believed to be the oldest palace in India.

In the medieval period, since reigning of the Kachwahas the Amer was called as Dhundar and the capital was shifted to Jaipur. The history of Amber fort is ingrained to the rulers of Amber who founded and established their empires at Amer.

मेहरानगढ़ किले का इतिहास

मेहरानगढ़ का किला पक्की चटानो के ऊपर बना हुआ है। इन चट्टानों को Malani Igneous Suit Contact कहा जाता है, जो कि एक लाख साल पहले ज्वालामुखियों से बने पहाड़ों की एक श्रृंखला है।

राव जोधा, राठौड़ रणमल के पुत्र थे। रणमल के 24 बेटे थे। जोधा 15 वें राठौड़ शासक थे। राव जोधा मंडोर के किले में रहा करते थे। यह किला 1000 साल पुराना था और बहुत ही जर्जर स्थिति में था। जोधा अपनी राजधानी को सुरक्षित स्थान पर स्थानांतरित करना चाहते थे, और इस प्रकार उन्होंने जोधपुर शहर का निर्माण किया।

जोधपुर की स्थापना, राव जोधा ने 1459 में की थी। जोधपुर का पहले का नाम ‘मारवाड़’ था। इसे ब्लू सिटी भी कहा जाता है क्योंकि वहाँ कई घरों को नीले रंग में रंगा गया है। यह माना जाता है कि नीला रंग मच्छरों को दूर करता है और गर्मी को अवशोषित नहीं करके घरों को ठंडा रखता है। उन दिनों केवल ब्राह्मणों को अपने घरों को नीला करने की अनुमति थी।

राव जोधा एक सुरक्षित जगह पर एक अच्छा किला बनाना चाहते थे। मंडोर के दक्षिण में पहाड़ थे। इस चट्टान का नाम भाकुर चिड़िया था। कुछ लोग इसे ‘भोर चिड़िया’ कहते हैं। चिड़िया मूल रूप से गौरैया होता है। उन पहाड़ों के एक हिस्से पर एक संत चिड़िया नाथ जी का कब्जा था। राव जोधा और श्री करणी माता ने अपने आश्रम को दूसरी जगह स्थानांतरित करने के लिए चिड़िया नाथ जी से अनुरोध किया। शुरू में, चिड़िया नाथ जी स्थानांतरित होने के लिए तैयार नहीं थे। बाद में उन्हें शिफ्ट करने के लिए एक विनम्र अनुरोध के साथ मजबूर किया गया क्योंकि राज्य को एक नए किले की सख्त आवश्यकता थी।

अंत में, चिड़िया नाथ जी स्थानांतरित हो गए लेकिन उन्होंने राव जोधा को शाप दिया कि उनके किले में पानी की कमी हमेशां रहे।

किले के निर्माण के बारे में एक और नकारात्मक तथ्य है। उन दिनों, यह शुभ माना जाता था कि यदि आप एक जिन्दा व्यक्ति को नींव के नीचे दबा देते हैं, तो यह एक सफल निर्माण होगा। इसके लिए राजा राम मेघवाल तैयार हुए। राव जोधा ने राजा राम को आश्वासन दिया कि उनके परिवार का भविष्य में ध्यान रखा जाएगा। यह एक सच्चाई है कि राजा राम मेघवाल का वंशज अभी भी मेहरानगढ़ किले में राज बाग में रहता है, जो किले का एक हिस्सा है।

श्री करणी माता ने किले मेहरानगढ़ की नींव रखी। मेहरानगढ़ नाम ‘मिहिर’ शब्द से रखा गया था। मिहिर एक संस्कृत शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है ‘सूर्य’। इस लिए जोधपुर को ‘सन सिटी’ के नाम से भी जाना जाता है।

बीकानेर और जोधपुर के किले अभी भी राठौर परिवार के पास हैं। जोधपुर के लोगों का मानना ​​है की ऐसा इस लिए भी हो सकता है, क्योंकि श्री कर्णी माता ने किले की नींव रखी थी।

शहर से किले तक जाने वाली घुमावदार सड़कें हैं।

यदि आप फाटकों और दीवारों को गौर से देखें तो आप को हमलावर दुश्मनों द्वारा फेंके गए गोला-बारूद के निशाँ आज भी नजर आ सकते हैं।

मेहरानगढ़ किले का इतिहास:

विरासत का कुछ योगदान महाराजा जसवंत सिंह (1629-1678) को भी जाता है। वह गजसिंह का पुत्र था।

उनके पिता गज सिंह बहुत प्रतिभाशाली व्यक्ति थे। उन्होंने ‘सिद्धान्त बोध’, ‘आनंद विलास’ और ‘भाव भूषण’ लिखा है।

शाहजहाँ ने 1638 में गज सिंह की मृत्यु पर उनकी इच्छानुसार जोधपुर सहित मारवाड़ का कुछ इलाका महाराजा जसवंत सिंह को सौंप दिया। जसवंत सिंह 1656 से 1666 तक असम प्रदेश का सूबेदार था, जब साम्राज्य का अधिकांश भाग शाहजहाँ (1592-1666) के अधीन था। शाहजहाँ ने 1654 में जसवंत सिंह को महाराजा की उपाधि दी।

1658 में, धरमतपुर में महाराजा जसवंत सिंह और औरंगज़ेब (1618 -1707) के बीच लड़ाई हुई। औरंगजेब ने मुराद, अपने छोटे भाई, को लड़ाई में शामिल होने के लिए आमंत्रित किया। जसवंत सिंह ने इसके लिए इंतजार किया और दोनों सेनाओं को अपने खिलाफ एक साथ लड़ने की अनुमति दी।

इस बीच, शाहजहाँ ने अपने सेनापति कासिम खान को जसवंत सिंह की मदद करने के लिए भेजा लेकिन औरंगजेब ने इस अवधि के दौरान जनरल कासिम खान को अपना बना लिया। इस तरह औरंगजेब और मुराद ने धोखे से जसवंत सिंह को हरा दिया।

बाद में अजीत सिंह ने (1679 -1724), जो जसवंत सिंह के बेटे थे, 1707 में औरंगजेब की मृत्यु के बाद किले पर अधिकार कर लिया।

उसके बाद, किले पर मारवाड़ के महाराजा मान सिंह (1783-1843) ने कब्जा कर लिया था। वह महाराज शेर सिंह के दत्तक पुत्र और वारिस थे। महाराजा शेर सिंह विजय सिंह के पुत्र थे। विजय सिंह ने 1791 में मान सिंह को सिंहासन का वारिस नियुक्त किया।

मान सिंह के बाद, तख्त सिंह (1819-1873) जोधपुर के महाराजा थे (1843-1873) के दौरान।

जसवंत सिंह II (1838-1895) 1873 से 1895 तक जोधपुर के महाराजा थे।

आगे चलकर, महाराजा सरदार सिंह (1895-1911), सुमेर सिंह (1911-1918), उम्मेद सिंह (1918-1947) हनवंत सिंह (1947-1952), गज सिंह राठौर (1952-आज तक) थे।

Alternatively, you can reach Jodhpur by air,  by booking a flight Ticket through MMT at a discounted price with MakeMyTrip Domestic Flight Offers. By road, if you go from Udaipur, Jodhpur is about four and half hours journey, and about six hours journey from Jaipur.

Mehrangarh Fort History

Mehrangarh Fort was built by Rao Jodha in 1460 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. This is one of the Largest forts in India. It is constructed at 410 feet height above the city. There are thick walls around the fort.

The fort area is about 5 Kilo Meters. The walls are 36 meters high and 21 meters wide.

The rocks under the fort are called Malani Igneous Suite Contact, which is a range of mountains made out of volcanoes, a million years ago.

Rao Jodha was the son of Rathore Ranmal. Ranmal had 24 sons. Jodha was the 15th Rathore ruler. He was at Mandore fort. This fort was 1000 years old and in a very deplorable condition. Jodha wanted to shift his capital to a safer place, and thus the city of Jodhpur was created.

Jodhpur was founded by Rao Jodha in 1459. The earlier name of Jodhpur was ‘Marwar’. It is also called Blue City because there are several houses painted in blue. The Blue color is considered that it repels the mosquitoes and keeps the houses cool by not absorbing the heat. Those days only Brahmis were allowed to paint their houses blue.

Mehrangarh Fort History Blue Houses

He wanted to build a good fort at a safe place. There were mountains in the south of Mandore. The name of this rock was Bhakur Cheeria. Some people call it ‘Bhaur Cheeria’.  Cheeria is basically a sparrow. A part of those mountains was occupied by a saint Cheeria Nath ji. Rao Jodha and Shree Karni Mata requested Cheeria Nath ji to move his ashram to another place. Initially, Cheeria Nath ji was not willing to shift. Later he was forced with a humble request to shift as the new fort was the dire necessity for the state.

At Last, Cheeria Nath ji shifted but he cursed Rao Jodha that his fort may face scarcity of water.

There is another negative fact about the construction of the fort. Those days, it was considered auspicious that if you bury a person live under the foundation, it would be a successful construction. The victim was Raja Ram Meghwal. Rao Jodha assured Raja Ram that his family would be taken care of in the future years. It is a truth that descendant family of Raja Ram Meghwal still live in Raj Bagh, which is a part of the fort.

Shree Karni Mata laid down the foundation the Fort Mehrangarh. The name Mehrangarh was kept from the word Mihir. Mihir is a Sanskrit word which means ‘Sun’. Jodhpur is also known by the name of ‘Sun City’.

Forts of Bikaner and Jodhpur still belong to Rathores. Maybe, because Shree Karnee Mata laid the foundation, as the people of Jodhpur believe.

There are winding roads from the city leading to the fort.

If you look at the gates and walls, you can check out even the impressions of ammunition, thrown by the attacking enemies.

Mehrangarh Fort History:

Some contribution of the heritage goes Maharaja Jaswant Singh (1629-1678). He was son of Gaj Singh.

His father Gaj Singh was a very talented person. He has authored ‘Siddhant Bodh’, ‘Anand Vilas’ and ‘Bhasa Bhusan’.

Shahjahan handed over part of Marwar including Jodhpur to Maharaja Jaswant Singh in 1638 as desired by his father on his death in 1638. Jaswant Singh was the subedar of Assam from 1656 to 1666 when the majority of the empire was under Shah Jahan (1592-1666). Shahjahan granted the title of Maharaja to Jaswant Singh in 1654.

In 1658, there was a fight between Maharaja Jaswant Singh and Aurangzeb (1618 -1707) at Dharamatpur. Aurangzeb invited Murad, his yonuger brother, to join him in the fight. Jaswant Singh waited for this and allowed the two armies to fight together against him.

In the meanwhile, Shahjahan sent his Army General Kasim Khan to help Jaswant Singh but Aurangzeb won over the General during this period. This way Aurangzeb and Murad defeated Jaswant Singh by deception.

Later on Ajit Singh (1679 -1724), who was the son of Jaswant Singh, took over the fort after the death of Aurangzeb in 1707.

After that,  the fort was occupied by Maharaja Man Singh (1783-1843) of Marwar. He was the adopted son and heir of Maharaj Sher Singh. Maharaja Sher Singh was son of Vijay Singh. Vijay Singh appointed Man Singh as the heir of the throne in 1791.

After Man Singh, Takht Singh (1819-1873) was the Maharaja of Jodhpur during (1843–1873).

Jaswant Singh II (1838-1895) was the Maharaja of Jodhpur from 1873 to 1895.

Later on, Maharajas were Maharaja Sardar Singh (1895-1911), Sumer Singh (1911-1918), Umaid Singh(1918-1947) Hanwant Singh (1947-1952), Gaj Singh Rathore (1952-till date)

Umaid Bhawan Palace was constructed by Maharaja Umaid Singh. The construction was completed in 1943.

Mehrangarh Fort Pols:

The Fort has got seven pols to enter into the fort.

In 1806, the combined armies of Jaipur and Bikaner attacked Marwar. Maharaja Man Singh defeated the two armies. In the memory of that victory, he made the Gate ‘Jai Pol’ at Mehrangarh Fort.

Fateh Pol was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh (1679 –1724) to commemorate the victory over Mughals.

Other Pols are Dedh Kamgra Pol (Lakhna Pol), Loha Pol,  Suraj Pol, Bhairon Pol (Bheru Pol), Marti Pol (Amriti Pol).

There is a mention about Gopal Pol and Taoti Pol in the fort but they are missing and have to be explored.

Palm Impressions of Queens:

To the left of Loha Pol there are 5 impressions, and 31 impressions of palms of Six Queens and 58 Dasees who set afire on the funeral pyre of Ajeet Singh in 1724.
