Bijai Garh, Ancient fort in Bayana, Bharatpur district, India.

The Bijai Garh fort features external walls made of red sandstone and contains multiple stone pillars with inscriptions from different historical periods.

Built in 1040 CE by Jadaun Rajput king Vijayapal, the fort later received recognition from Babur, who considered it among India's most notable fortifications.

The fort complex includes both Hindu temples and Islamic structures, including the Usha Temple and Talakni Masjid, representing religious diversity through architecture.

Located 25 kilometers from Hindaun city, visitors can reach the fort through local transportation and explore its architectural elements throughout the year.

The Bhimalat, a monolithic red sandstone pillar constructed in 371, stands within the fort complex as evidence of ancient engineering capabilities.
