Main entrance of the #NeemranaFort, whIch is part of the original structure and preserved as it is .
The Fort Palace of #Neemrana is about 125 km from Delhi, on the road to Jaipur in #Rajasthan. Built in 1464, #NeemranaFortPalace became the third capital of the descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan III , who had fled Delhi in 1192 after he was vanquished in battle by Muhammad Ghori.
Neemrana’s rulers, proud of lineage, continued to assert themselves, even under the British, as their kingdom suffered. In 1947, Raja Rajinder Singh of Neemrana moved down to Vijay Bagh and the Fort Palace crumbled as its ramparts began to give way. For forty years he tried to rid himself of his liability but there were no takers.
In 1986 the ruins were acquired for restoration and by 1991 the fort Palace was resplendent and majestic once again. The restoration has not tampered or altered any original design feature, not even Windows and doors.
