Lohagarh Fort, meaning 'Iron Fort,' stands as a testament to the resilience of the Jat rulers who built it in the 18th century. Unlike most Rajput forts built of stone, Lohagarh's walls are made of thick mud, which made them absorb cannon fire rather than shatter. The fort withstood multiple British attacks. Inside, visitors can explore palaces, temples, and a museum that displays artifacts, weapons, and paintings from the Bharatpur royal family. The fort's unassuming exterior belies a rich interior of architectural and historical treasures.
Don't miss
- Explore the museum's collection of Jat-era weapons, manuscripts, and portraits.
- See the Kishori Mahal and Kothi Khas, two ornate palaces within the fort complex.
- Climb the fort's bastions for panoramic views of Bharatpur city.
