Junagarh Fort, Fort in Bikaner, India

Junagarh Fort spreads across 5.28 hectares, featuring red sandstone walls, marble structures, temples, palaces, and intricate architectural details throughout the complex.

Raja Rai Singh, a general in Emperor Akbar's army, commissioned the construction of this fort in 1589, completing the massive structure by 1594.

The fort contains multiple palaces including Karan Mahal, Phool Mahal, and Anup Mahal, each displaying different architectural styles from various periods of Indian history.

Visitors can explore the fort museum, established in 1961, which exhibits royal artifacts, manuscripts, traditional weapons, and historical paintings from the Bikaner dynasty.

Unlike most Indian forts built on hilltops, this fortress stands on flat terrain and remained unconquered throughout its history except for one day.
