Kangla Fort, Royal fort in Imphal, India

The stone-built fortification spans 438 acres along the Imphal River, featuring defensive walls, temples, gateways, and traditional wooden structures throughout the complex.

The fort served as the capital of Manipur kingdom from 33 AD under King Pakhangba until 1891 when British forces took control of the territory.

The fort complex includes several museums displaying artifacts that represent Manipuri warfare techniques, traditional clothing, daily objects, and regional architecture.

Visitors can access the fort daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM without paying entrance fees, with guided tours available to explain the historical elements.

The fort contains remnants of traditional Manipuri architectural elements that combine military defense structures with ceremonial spaces used by the royal family.
