How To Reach Old Fort
Karnal, Haryana, India
A Fort of Shifting Powers: The Old Fort, also known as Karnal Fort, is a poignant reminder of Karnal's tumultuous past, situated right in the city center. Its historical roots are contested, with some accounts suggesting it was built during the early Mughal era, possibly by Emperor Babur, to serve a s a military outpost controlling the strategic trade routes. Other, more reliable sources attribute its construction to Raja Gajpat Singh (the founder of the Jind State) in the 18th Century as a defensive stronghold against invaders. Regardless of its exact origin, the fort has been a silent witness to the changing dynamics of power, having been held by the Mughals, the Marathas, the Afghans, and eventually the British. Today, the fort is largely in ruins, a state of disrepair that speaks volumes about the neglect of historical sites. However, its remnants—the sturdy walls, arched gateways, and bastions—still provide a tangible connection to the bygone eras, attracting history enthusiasts and those keen to explore the region's rich, layered cultural heritage. Local efforts are occasionally made to preserve this significant symbol of Karnal's historical importance, hoping to bring it back to its former glory. (W.C. met)
