Bhopalgarh Fort Khetri - Historical place in Jaipur, Beelwa - Jhunjhunu, India

Located on a very scenic location upon a hill and fortress. The entire setting is a bit quiet and eerie as not many visitors go. It's not open for the public so very limited public vehicles agree to go.

The Bhopal Garh Fort in Khetri, once the domain of the Bhopal Singh kings, has seen the effects of time, with some portions in a state of ruin. However, commendable restoration work has been carried out to preserve its historical charm. Situated amidst the scenic Aravali hills, it makes for a delightful outing. Exploring the fort allows you to step back in time for around 30 minutes, appreciating its rich heritage and the efforts to restore its former glory.

The fort is not in very intact condition but the natural ambience is mesmerising. If one loves the sunrise and sunset, will love the place. One can also visit Gomukh there.

One of the Less explored places in Rajasthan. The fort is still a ruin. But that's the beauty of it. Should visit before it gets commercial.

Awesome place for traveling, but now in days kanchan Mahal (known as raja ka mahal )under renovation , then probited to visit in kanchan Mahal, but you also going other places like sati mata temple, shiv temple , moti Mahal , bhopal Garh.

Born and brought up in khetri, very well aquiented with each and every place and it's historical background. I am writing a novel, having backgrounds of this historical place.

Visited last Friday in the Bhopalgarh Fort which is known for its king Bhopal and their laureate friend Swami Vivekananda's Visit in. There is library established in the main city near roadways bus depot namely Swami Vivekananda Library. Old scriptures are kept in this Library. I recommend to must visit and have a look to this beautiful place in the hillfoots. Khetri is famous for Copper mines since pre-independence. Regards

Khetri Mahal , also known as the Wind Palace, is a classic example of palace architecture in the state of Jhunjhunu. It is now a ruin, attracting tourists and locals alike.Khetri Mahal was constructed by Bhopal Singh around 1770. Bhopal Singh was the grandson of Sardul Singh. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh of Jaipur built his Hawa Mahal, also known as the Wind Palace, on the model of the Khetri Mahal, in 1799. Khetri in itself was considered to be the second wealthiest 'Thikana' under Jaipur. Khetri Mahal is located behind a series of lanes. It is a paragon of Shekhawati art and architecture. It is primarily known for its fine paintings and murals mainly supporting the Raghunath temple and Bhopalgarh fort. The palace is remarkable among buildings of its region because of the flow of wind through its open portals rather than stopped windows or doors. Wind Palace Architecture of Mahal Wherever structurally possible, the walls have been pierced with arched openings. The levels of the Palace are combined through a series of ramps, installed to facilitate the movement of horseback guests toward the terrace, which gives commanding views. Two small alcoves contain fragments of older paintings in the private chamber of Thakurs. Most of these paintings were executed in natural earth pigments. The interior rooms are open and colonnaded, the columns often surmounted with openwork and curved arches. Beautiful architecture design of Khetri Mahal Most of the rooms are connected through arched portals rather than with doors, and much of the masonry is covered with a pinkish plaster. One enters the palace via a student hostel at the base of the structure.
