Kans Quila, Fort in Mathura, India.

The fort features three aisles divided by red sandstone pillars in its audience hall, showcasing traditional Indian architectural elements.

Raja Man Singh of Amber, a general of Mughal Emperor Akbar, renovated the dilapidated structure during the 16th century.

The fort stands on the location where Krishna's uncle Kansa maintained his palace according to Hindu religious texts.

Visitors can access the fort between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM daily, with transportation available through local buses and auto rickshaws.

The structure functioned as a protective barrier against floods from the Yamuna River, protecting the northern sections of Mathura.
