Kishangarh fort is Situated atop a hillock, the imposing Kishangarh fort was constructed in 1653 by a Rathore King, Maharaja Roop Singh. The fort is abounded by a huge wall and has many palaces and museums. It is believed that Maharaja Roop Singh built the fort at the spot where he saw a sheep defending her lambs from a pack of wolves. Kishangarh fort is one of the very few forts that remained unconquered in spite of constant enemy attacks. Overlooking a magnificent lake, the fort also served as one of the prominent centers of the Kishangarh School of miniature paintings. The famous Bani thani style of painting originated here only. It was Maharaja Sawant Singhji and his beloved Bani Thani who modeled as Lord Krishna and Radha for the court painters. The jaw dropping interiors of the fort are adorned with striking murals and some wonderful frescoes. The sprawling courtyards and the large manicured gardens enhance beauty the Kishangarh Fort of Rajasthan.
