Manimajra Fort, 18th-century fortification in Manimajra, India
The four-acre stone fortress features ancient defensive walls, traditional architectural elements, and multiple interior chambers spread across its grounds.
Built in the early 1700s by Gharib Dass Dhillon, the fort served as the capital of his 84-village state until the final ruler Bhagwan Singh.
The fort stands as a representation of Punjab's military architecture and has appeared in international films, including the production Zero Dark Thirty.
The structure requires immediate conservation efforts as its walls continue to decay, while local residents currently use the space for vehicle parking.
According to regional records, an underground tunnel once connected the fortress to the Mansa Devi Mandir temple in neighboring Panchkula.
