Barabati Fort, Medieval fortress in Cuttack district, India.
The stone fortress spans 102 acres along the Mahanadi River, featuring a large moat, stone walls, and the remains of a nine-story palace.
Built in 987 CE by King Marakata Keshari of the Somavanshi dynasty, the fort served as a strategic location for multiple rulers until British colonization in 1803.
The Archaeological Survey of India conducts excavations at the site, revealing artifacts including Chinese porcelain, terracotta figures, and ancient pottery from different periods.
The fortress remains stand next to Barabati Stadium, with access available through Cuttack railway station or Bhubaneswar airport, 30 kilometers away.
Recent archaeological investigations at the fort focus on uncovering connections between ancient Odisha and Southeast Asian civilizations through discovered artifacts.
