Rajasthan VacationRajasthan Forts & Palaces • Junagarh Fort - Bikaner

Junagarh Fort - Bikaner

It is an unassailable fortress, which has never been conquered. Built in 1593 A.D. by Raja Rai Singh, one of the most distinguished generals in the army of Emperor Akbar, the fort is a formidable structure encircled by a moat.

The main entrance to the fort is Karan Pol [gate], that is east facing. Next to it is the Suraj Pol meaning the sun gate. The fort situates in it some very magnificent palaces like Anup Mahal, Ganga Niwas and Rang Mahal or palace of pleasure.

The Har Mandir is the majestic chapel for the royal family for worshipping their gods and goddesses. These palaces, constructed in red sandstone and marble, make a picturesque ensemble of courtyards, balconies, kiosks and windows dotted all over the structure.

The premises also houses a museum which is an array of a rich collection. It's a museum located in the great Junagarh Fort. The museum is dedicated to royal costumes, textiles and accessories.

'Poshaks' or the ladies ensemble displayed are perhaps the last remnants of the traditional designing styles and workmanship.

The museum also reveals a study of changing cultural settings in its display of family portraits of the former rulers.

Changes embarked by the western influences appear strikingly. The vivid glimpses of legacy that survived in the contemporary Bikaner are also visible.
