Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Kangra fort is the largest and oldest known fort in the central Himalayas. Over 460 acres and set on a steep rocky hill, it is midst the confluence of Banganga and Patalganga rivers. The earliest section is from the Gupta era period, but the fort as it survives now was constructed by Katoch kings of Kangra. The fort was repeatedly attacked by Sultanates and the Mughals as it was considered the defender and gateway of Himalayan kingdoms. The fort had beautifully carved Hindu and Jain temples, but these are all in ruins. The fort has an archaeological museum that includes Brahmi, Tankri and Nagari script inscriptions – attesting to its importance from pre-5th century period.
