Bihu Loukon, Ancient star-shaped mud fort in Maklang, India
The fort structure features walls measuring five feet in height and fifteen feet in thickness, covering an area of approximately six hectares.
Discovered through Google Earth imagery in 2013, the fort's existence had been forgotten by local residents until its rediscovery drew attention from historians.
The fort stands near traditional waterways where local communities conducted boat races, connecting the structure to regional recreational activities.
Located west of Maklang town in Manipur, the fort remains accessible for researchers studying ancient defense structures of northeastern India.
The eight-pointed star configuration of the fort raises questions about European architectural influences in ancient Manipuri fortification designs.
