The fort has a rich history, as per Mahan Kosh, it was conquered in 1821 by a local zamindar Ghareeb Dass and turned into the capital of his newly created state. The state was last ruled by Bhagwan Singh, but as he was childless, the government took control of the property of the fort.
So pack your bags and head over to Manimajra Fort, where history and entertainment collide.
