Let's Travel With Me In Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️(Rohtas Fort Jehlum)
Good morning everyone's 💐
Hope you all are fine and safe in your home 🏡💐❤️
Yesterday i visited Rohtas Fort Jehlum And i shared two part of my this adventure now this is 3rd and last part. ❤️😊😊
Rohtas Fort is a located near the city of Jehlum in the Punjab.The fortress was built during the reign of Sher Shah Suri.
The fort was also designed to suppress the local Gakhar tribes of then Potohar region.
The fort is known for its large defensive walls, and several monumental gateways.
Rohtas Fort was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997 for being an "exceptional example of the Muslim military architecture of Central and South Asia.
Rohtas Fort was built on a hill overlooking a gorge where the Kahan River meets a seasonal stream called Parnal Khas within the TillaJogian Range.
The fort lost much of its significance as the fort's purpose of subduing pro-Mughal Gakhar tribesmen, as well as the preventing the return of Emperor Humayun, was no longer required. Further, the construction of the nearby Attock Fort in the 1580s by the Emperor Akbar better served Mughal interests.
Rohtas Fort, ironically, came to serve as capital of the Gakhar tribes that it had initially been designed to subdue, and was not required as a military garrison as the local Gakhar tribes remained loyal to the Mughal crown.
In 1825, the Sikh forces of Gurmukh Singh Lamba conquered the fort from the Gakhar chieftain Nur Khan. Rohtas was also thereafter used for administrative purposes by the Sikh Empire until its collapse by the British in 1849.
Nice!
