Gwalior Fort

Gwalior Fort is an imposing fortress that was built on a rocky outcrop overlooking Gwalior. The ruins of Gwalior Fort feature a wealth of Indian architecture that spans seven centuries.

The walls of Gwalior Fort encircle almost the entire hill and beneath the fort is a sheer drop to the plains below. The citadel, in the northeastern corner of the enclosure, presents interesting tiles with symbolic images.

Within Gwalior Fort are several Hindu temples, one pair known as the Sas Bahu Ka Mandir, feature beautiful bas-reliefs. This pair was finished in 1083 and although crumbling they still feature lovely interiors. The 15th C Gujari Mahal was built by Raja Mansingh Tomar as a monument of his love for his Gujar queen, Mrignayani
