Gobindgarh Fort, Military fort and theme park in Amritsar, India
Gobindgarh Fort is a restored fortress in Amritsar with four bastions, two entrance gates, and cannons positioned on its brick and lime walls. The site contains multiple exhibition spaces, galleries, and a stage dedicated to performances and cultural events.
Built in 1760 by Gujjar Singh Banghi, the fort eventually fell under Maharaja Ranjit Singh's control. It once served as a storage location and underwent restoration to become accessible to visitors in modern times.
The Spirit of Punjab stage showcases bhangra performances and regional artistic traditions that reflect local culture. Visitors can experience these dances and musical forms that remain central to celebrations in the area.
The site welcomes visitors daily with guided tours through the complex and museum exhibits on display. Evening entertainment includes projection mapping shows projected onto the walls, adding to the overall experience.
A concealed tunnel runs from the fort toward Lahore, revealing the strategic planning of the original design. The Zamzama cannon displays Persian inscriptions from the 1700s carved into its surface.
