Shahpurkandi Fort
Shahpurkandi Fort, located near Pathankot on the left bank of the Ravi River, is a historic fort built by King Jaspal Singh Pathania in the early 16th century.
The fort was strategically positioned at the foothills of the Shiwalik Mountains, serving as a stronghold for the Pathania rulers and helping them maintain control over their kingdom, which included Pathankot, Nurpur, and Kangra. The fort holds significant historical importance, particularly in relation to Ram Singh Pathania, a Rajput prince who led a rebellion against the British in 1848.
He successfully recaptured the fort from British forces and resisted their control until he was ultimately captured and deported to Rangoon, where he passed away in 1856. His legacy continues to be honored through local ballads and fairs.
