Raisen fort


One gets attracted to the sprawling Raisen fort as seen in picture from the highway. It is one kilometer from the main highway but road is un-motorable. To make it worse there are big stones in the lane towards the fort, which make sure that one cannot drive even if you want to try !. One has to then climb staircase which leads to this fort which includes temples, palaces, a large water reservoir and some 40 wells.

If one looks at the official web site of Raisen district, in 'places to see' on the site this fort even does not feature may be that that is the reason there is no focus on maintaining this fort, a fort which gave district its name !.
