Forts of Rajasthan
Rajasthan's history lies enshrined in its forts, several of which dot the arid landscape. Over the centuries, several forts were abandoned, some captured, some disabused, leaving behind a rich history in their wake. While palaces outside of the forts have been a more recent phenomenon, ranging across the 19th and 20th centuries, the forts are often very old. However, since additions were constantly made to these dwellings, they provide a rich architectural legacy of influences on architecture that begins with the Hindu-Rajput, shows assimilation of the Mughal and, later the British, resulting in a sense of opulence best characterised by what has come to be referred as Indo-Saracenic architecture.
Provided here are small capsules of some of the more historic forts of Rajasthan. This is a small list, and completely overlooks others such as the forts at Ranthambhore and Gagron that have had a major role to play in the history of India because they are less frequented by visitors.
