Akhnoor Fort, 18th-century fortification in Akhnoor, India
The stone fort complex stands on the right bank of the Chenab River, featuring strong defensive walls, watch towers, and a two-story palace structure.
Raja Tej Singh initiated the construction of Akhnoor Fort in 1762, and his successor Raja Dhian Singh completed the fortress in 1802 as a military stronghold.
The fort contains decorated arches with mural paintings, traditional temples, and residential quarters that reflect the architectural styles of northern Indian fortifications.
Located 28 kilometers from Jammu City, the fort remains open to visitors throughout the year and requires no entrance fee for exploration.
Archaeological excavations beneath the fort revealed a 5000-year-old settlement with Harappan artifacts, copper pins, and bone arrowheads from ancient civilizations.
