Gagron Fort, Hilltop fortress in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, India

The stone fortification stands on elevated ground at the convergence of Ahu and Kali Sindh rivers, with water surrounding three of its sides.

Constructed in the twelfth century by Rajput king Bijaldev Singh Dod, the fortress later came under the control of rulers Sher Shah and Akbar.

The fort complex includes temples, palaces, and a dargah dedicated to Khwaja Hamid Uddin Chishti, featuring a mosque and Buland Darwaza entrance.

Visitors can explore the fortress between 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM, with guided tours recommended due to the extensive four-square-kilometer layout.

The fortress contains three ramparts instead of the standard two found in other Indian forts, integrating naturally with the Mukundara Hills.
