Sindri Fort, Military fort in Gujarat, India

Sindri Fort stands near the Nara river, an eastern branch of the Indus River upstream of Lakhpat in western Gujarat.

The fort experienced catastrophic damage during the 1819 earthquake, which caused the structure to subside and flood with incoming waters.

The formation of Allah bund, a fifty-mile strip of elevated land near the fort, became part of regional geological studies and local narratives.

Only remnants of a single tower remained visible above water level by 1828, as documented by explorer Alexander Burnes.

The geological changes at Sindri Fort were featured in Charles Lyell's 1830 publication 'Principles of Geology' as an example of landscape transformation.
