Bahu Fort, Hindu fortification in Jammu, India
The fort stands on a high plateau above the Tawi River, featuring eight octagonal towers connected by thick sandstone walls and fortifications.
Originally constructed by Raja Bahulochan in ancient times, the fort underwent substantial modifications during the rule of Maharaja Gulab Singh in the 19th century.
The Bahu Fort contains a white marble temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, known locally as Bawe Wali Mata, receiving devotees throughout the year.
Local guides provide tours of the fort's chambers and passages, while the surrounding Bagh-e-Bahu park presents views of Jammu city.
The Bahu Mela festival brings thousands of pilgrims to the fort twice annually during Navaratras, with special offerings and market stalls.
