Lohagarh Fort, Bharatpur, India.
Edit
Detail InformationEdit
The Lohagarh Fort, true to its name, stood solidly in front of many British attacks. It faced the British onslaught four times and after a long siege they had to withdraw. However, Lord Lake was successful in capturing it in 1804.It is very different from the other forts in the state. While it lacks flamboyance, it generates an aura of strength and magnificence. The fort is surrounded by a moat which was previously filled with water to ward off the enemy attacks. The sandy ramparts were strengthened by sandy battlements, thus the enemy guns proved of no avail. Some interesting monuments in the fort are Kishori Mahal, Mahal Khas and Kothi Khas. Moti Mahal and towers like Jawahar Burj and Fateh Burj were erected to commemorate the victory over the Mughals and the British army. The Gateway has paintings of huge elephants.
