Bijai Garh
From Warlike
Bijai Garh, also known as Vijayamandirgarh or Bijaigarh, is a fort located in Bharatpur district. It is situated on Damdama Hill, an extension of the Aravalli Range and overlooking the town of Bayana. The fort was founded in the early 11th century AD by the Jadaun Rajput king Vijayapal of Karauli, with an inscription dated c.1043 AD explicitly crediting him for its construction. Over the centuries Bijai Garh passed through many hands. It was captured by Ghaznavid and Ghurid armies, later by Delhi Sultanate and Mughal rulers, and mentioned by Babur and Akbar in their chronicles. The fort's enclosure contains ancient temple ruins, medieval gateways, and notable artifacts such as a Gupta-period inscribed pillar. Bijaigarh contains several old temples and red stones pillars bearing an Inscription of Vishnuvardhan Feudatory of Samudragupta.
