Fort of sinsini
[edit]Sinsini fort was a historical fort located near the village of Sinsini in Bharatpur district, Rajasthan. Constructed on a nearby hill, the fort was built by the Jats during their mid-17th century revolt against the Mughal Empire. It served as a strategic stronghold, particularly under the leadership of Gokula, Raja Ram, and Churaman, who used it as a base for organising resistance against Mughal forces. However, the fort was destroyed in 1690 by Mughal commander Bidar Bakht, after the death of Raja Ram.[4]
