Jhansi Fort, Monument of National Importance in Jhansi, India
The fort stands atop Bangira hill with massive granite walls extending 16 to 20 feet thick across a 15-acre complex featuring multiple gates and temples.
The Karhade Brahmin rulers constructed this defensive stronghold in the 17th century, which later became central to Rani Lakshmibai's resistance against British forces in 1858.
The fort complex includes temples dedicated to Hindu deities Ganesha and Shiva, along with Baradari, a structure commemorating Raja Gangadhar Rao's brother.
Visitors can reach the fort through multiple entrance gates, with the nearest railway station located 3 kilometers away in Jhansi city center.
The Kadak Bijli cannon, used during the 1857 uprising, remains positioned at the entrance as a testament to the fort's military legacy.
