Ranthambore Fort is a formidable historical fortress located in the Ranthambore National Park near Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, India.

The fort is believed to have been built during the 10th century and has witnessed many historical events and rulers, including the Chauhan royal dynasty and the Mughal Empire. Its strategic location made it a crucial defence fort. Within its massive walls, it houses several ancient temples, tanks, massive gates, and monuments.

The fort's majestic ruins blend seamlessly with the wild, natural landscape, making it an iconic symbol of Rajput valor and heritage.
