Timangarh Fort, Medieval fort in Karauli district, India

The fort stretches across 51.5 hectares, containing remnants of palaces, bazaars, houses, temples, walls, living quarters, and military facilities within its boundaries.

Built between 1093 and 1140 by Tahanpal of the Jadaun Rajput clan, the fort later became a military outpost under the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.

Sanskrit inscriptions on the fort walls depict various professions, geometric patterns, floral motifs, and scenes from daily life in medieval India.

The fort is accessible through five main gates and can be reached by road from Gangapur City railway station or through the nearest airport in Agra.

In 1985, smugglers reportedly used helicopters to remove ancient artifacts from the fort, leading to the loss of numerous historical treasures.
