Ratanpur Fort
Ratanpur Fort in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, was built in the 11th century by the Kalachuri dynasty, particularly associated with King Ratnadeva and the Haihaya rulers. It served as the capital of the Kalachuri rulers and was an important military and political center in the region.
The fort is notable for its strategic location on a plateau rather than a hill and its impressive architecture, including strong fort walls, four main gates, watchtowers, and bastions. It features Hindu iconography on its gates and walls, reservoirs for water supply, and a temple dedicated to Ratneshwar (a form of Shiva). Over time, it witnessed various battles and changes in rulers, including the Marathas and later the British.
The fort complex also includes a museum displaying artifacts from its long history. Although now partly in ruins, the fort remains a significant heritage site protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and offers rich insights into the region’s ancient history and culture.
