Bhainsrorgarh Fort History
Built in the 1740s by Ror, an Indian caste found primarily in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, Bhainsrorgarh is an impregnable fort that has been passed through the hands of several clans before becoming a part of Mewar kingdom.
It was of great importance to the Chundawat clan of Sisodia Rajputs, as it was granted to Rao Chunda after he renounced the Mewar throne for his yet to be born younger brother. Following the great Mughal emperors, it was briefly held by the Turks, before it was recaptured by Banbir, son of Maldeo. It was also the headquarters for the Shaktawat clan, after Maharana Pratap awarded it to Shakti’s son for saving his life.
The older history of this fort still remains unknown as it is believed that Alauddin Khilji, the Delhi Sultan, attacked this fort and destroyed all the old temples and buildings.
Many excellent sculptures are mentioned in the old architectural texts as being here, but they might have been sent to the museum as this world charm was converted to a luxurious heritage hotel, restoring its old beauty, by the erstwhile royal family. It is an amazing tourist spot for tourists from all around the world.
