Talking about the fort, it dates back to the 17th century and is adorned by all the typical features of the Mughal architecture.

Only some part of the fort is open for public as rest is the residential area of the Maharaja. When the Maharaja is in the residence that is in his palace in the fort, the flag of the fort is raised.
In terms of construction, this quaint fort was constructed using red sandstone. This fort has two stunning temples and a museum within the property.
