Photos Of Navratangarh Fort

Gumla, Jharkhand, India
Navratangarh Fort, a significant historical site, was the ancient capital of the Nagvanshi kings of Chota Nagpur. The fort was built by King Durjan Sal in the 17th century after his return from Mughal captivity. He named the palace "Navratan Garh" because of the nine historical fortresses he built f or himself and his eight brothers, signifying his status as a "king of nine forts." The grand structure is a testament to the blend of Mughal and tribal architectural styles, reflecting the influence of his time in the Mughal court. Though now in a state of ruin, the fort complex still holds immense historical and archaeological importance. The main palace is a five-storied structure, originally built to be earthquake-proof and well-ventilated. The palace also features a central hall, courtyards, and a grand entrance. The complex also includes a temple dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a water well, and a treasury. The fort's strategic location on a hill was chosen for defensive purposes. The ruins of the fort give a glimpse into the grandeur of the Nagvanshi kingdom and its rich cultural history. It is a place of interest for historians, archaeologists, and tourists who are fascinated by the medieval era's architecture and power dynamics. The fort is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India, and efforts are being made to preserve this invaluable heritage. The quiet and isolated setting of the fort, surrounded by nature, adds to its mystique and makes it an ideal spot for quiet reflection and historical exploration.
