Lohagarh Fort

The Lohagarh Fort (which when translated becomes Iron Fort) was built by the Jat rulers of Bharatpur. This was one of the strongest forts in Indian history. In 1805, the British forces laid siege to the Fort for about six weeks and still the fort could not be captured. Finally, the British has to make a compromise with the ruler. One of the gates of the fort is made of Ashtadhatu or of eight metals. The second gate that faces the south is termed as Chowburja or the four pillared gate.

The Sabarmati Ashram was the dwelling of the great Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. It is situated close to Vadaj.
