Bhatner Fort, Ancient military fort in Hanumangarh, India.

The fort encompasses 52 bighas of land with twelve bastions along its brick walls, forming a parallelogram structure at 203 meters elevation.

King Bhupat of Jaisalmer constructed the fortress in 295 AD, and Timur captured it during his 1398 invasion, noting its strength in his autobiography.

The fort houses multiple temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman, plus a Jain Pasara containing three inscribed statues and an old building.

The complex includes 52 water reservoirs designed to store rainwater, providing sufficient supply for an entire military battalion throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations near the fortifications revealed Painted Grey Ware from 1100-800 BCE and Rang-Mahal Ware from the 1st to 3rd century CE.
