Forts of Rajasthan
:- Lohagarh Fort, Bharatpur-:
Lohagarh fort, or the Iron fort was built in the early 18th century and took
its name from its

supposedly
impregnable defences, which are said to be inspired by a description given in
the epic, Ramayana. Maharaja Suraj Mal, the fort's constructor and founder of
Bharatpur, built two towers within the ramparts, the Jawahar Burj and Fateh
Burj, to commemorate his victories over the Mughals and the British.
The fort was encircled and protected by deep moats, and according to a legend
would fall "only when a crocodile swalled up all the water of the moat".
The gate of the Lohagarh has an interesting history behind it. It originally
belonged to the fort of Chittorgarh but was carried away by Sultan Alauddin
Khilji of Delhi. In the late 17th century it was brought back in triumph by
the victorious Jat armies from the imperial capital of Delhi to Bharatpur.
