Idar Fort
Idar Fort, located in the town of Idar in Sabarkantha (Himmatnagar) district of Gujarat, has a rich history closely tied to the Rathore Rao Rajput dynasty. The fort was conquered in 1257 by Sonangji Rathore, who established the Rao dynasty that ruled the area for generations. Idar was known for its strong defensive position, surrounded on three sides by the Aravalli mountains, making it a difficult fort to capture.
The fort and region witnessed numerous battles between Rajput rulers and Muslim sultans of Gujarat, including sieges by Zafar Khan and Ahmad Shah I. The Rathores lost and regained control multiple times, with significant influence from neighboring powers like the Mughals and Marathas.
Idar Fort remained a symbol of Rajput strength and resilience through centuries of conflict until it became part of the Indian Union after independence. The fort exemplifies the architectural and cultural heritage of the Rathore Rajputs in northern Gujarat.
