Bathinda Fort, popularly known as Qila Mubarak, is a historic fort situated in the heart of Bathinda city in Punjab, India. Believed to have been built around 1100-1200 AD by the rulers of the Bhati clan, the fort stands as a robust symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This imposing structure has been a witness to many historical events, including the imprisonment of Razia Sultan, the first female monarch of the Delhi Sultanate. The architecture of the fort is characterized by its thick walls and bastions, which were constructed using small bricks that are a unique feature of the area. The fort's strategic military importance is underscored by its past as a gateway to the invasions of India from the northwest. Today, after extensive renovations, it serves as a prime tourist attraction, offering glimpses into its glorious past through its fascinating architecture, including the majestic ramparts, and the overall serene ambiance that surrounds it.
