Shergarh Fort

Named after Sher Shah Sur, the Sultan of Delhi in mid 16th century, Shergarh fort was built much earlier in the 10th century and was the site of religious fervour in the name of Lord Shiva the Destroyer. However, the fort was originally built as a form of defence against the rulers of Mewar who were bent upon attacking Bundi throughtout the 12th to the 17th centuries.
Shergarh fort is a jal durg (protected by water) with the river Parwan forming a moat around it. The walls of the fort have a distinct style, for never before were walls decorated with carved images and statues of Hindu gods and Jain motifs. It is believed that the fort is now a haven for dacoits.
