Junagarh Fort
The Junagarh Fort easily qualifies as one of the most impressive forts in India and is a truly majestic sight to behold. It was built in 1593 AD by Raja Rai Singh, one of the most trusted generals of Emperor Akbar. Speaking its architecture, the Junagarh Fort is a classic blend of oriental and European forms of architecture. Another feature of the Junagarh Fort is that it is situated on a desert plain unlike its counterparts that are usually situated on higher elevations. But at the same time, it must be mentioned that the Junagarh Fort has the proud distinction of having remained unconquered till date.
Two huge gates adorn the Junagarh Fort with the Suraj Pol or the Sun Gate serving as the main entrance. Besides, the 37 bastions that guard the fort add a very grand look to the whole structure. As you enter the Junagarh Fort, you are transported into a utopian realm that is full of beautiful palaces, monuments and gardens. The most remarkable of them is the Moon Palace that displays some exquisite mirror work, paintings and marble carvings. The Phool Mahal or the Flower Palace is another treat to the eyes. There are other wonderful palatial structures like the Anup Mahal, Karan Mahal, Rang Mahal and so on. With beautifully carved windows, balconies, towers and kiosks, every palatial structure at the Junagarh Fort adds up to a new experience.
With it red sandstone façade, the Junagarh Fort never fails to amaze its visitors. Besides, the inherent old worldly charm and romantic aura about the Junagarh Fort makes it an experience worth remembering.
