This fort is one of the forts of India's greatest hero Prithviraj Chauhan. It is located in Hasi, Haryana. The approach roads are well maintained and the fort is easily accessible, however there is no signage or boards advertising the fort near ir around in the surrounding. We used Google Maps to locate the fort. The vibe of the King is stl there and the grandeur can still be felt. Locals use the fort as a dumping ground and a cricket ground now. Better upkeep could have made his as a great historical monument and generate revenue for the local population and business

Based on what I read on reviews I visited this fort which is supposedly called Hindu fort whch the Tomars and Privthiraj Chauhan used. What I found intact was a temple with a green colour dome, some monuments with strong Islamic influence a building with British look and a small number of pillars bearing Hindu influence. The view from top was probably the vantage point. There is no parking. Access road is narrow and convenient for 2 wheelers. The temple- dargah seemed popular amongst locals.

Very Nice Historical Place According to an inscription found here in 1815, this fort was under the authority of King Prithviraja during 12th century. In 1334, Moroccan adventurer Ibn Batuta visited Hansi and the fort. He later left behind the following account of the city of Hansi in his 'Rihla'. Chalisa famine of 1783-84 left this whole area devastated. Several nearby villages were abandoned and the city of Hansi itself was largely deserted. Later around the year 1798 when George Thomas decided to make Hansi his capital, he made several efforts to rehabilitate it. He got the city walls and the fort repaired, wells were dug and new buildings were erected on the fort. Thomas's reign was of very short time and was over with the Battle of Hansi (in December 1801), against Marathas. In this battle Maratha guns had caused a great damage to this previously impenetrable fort but it was only after a long siege and a fierce battle that Thomas finally agreed to surrender the city and the fort. Lt. Col. James Skinner, fought on the Maratha side. After the treaty of 1803 with the Marathas (Scindhia), East India Company established its authority over this territory and this fort was now to be used for administrative and military purposes. Now partially restored one can see the Baradari, Old Serai, Jama Masjid, Moti masjid and the tomb of Miran Sahib
