It is dramatically positioned between two rivers, the Chambal and Bamani. It had passed through the hands of several clans before becoming the seat of a premier noble of Mewar, the large region around Udaipur and Princely State of the Sisodia clan. It contains five tanks, temples to Devi Bhim Chauri, Shiva, and Ganesh and a palace that is for rent. A fortified outpost of the kingdom of Mewar that included Chittorgarh and Udaipur, Bhainsrorgarh is located 235 kilometers northeast of Udaipur and 50 kilometers south of Kota and has a remarkable history. Built by Rawat Lal Singh (second son of Rawat Kesri Singh of Salumber), Bhainsrorgarh was granted as a jagir ( fiefdom ) by Maharana Jagat Singh II of Mewar in 1741 A.D.〔http://www.bhainsrorgarh.com/theme_18/lib.plugins/the_fort.php〕 Bhainsrorgarh held great importance to the Chundawat clan of Sisodia Rajputs, as it was granted to Rao Chunda after he renounced the Mewar throne for his yet to be born younger brother. As the eldest son of Rana Lakha, then ruler of Mewar, Chunda Ji was the heir apparent to the throne of Chittor. The Chief of Bhainsrorgarh was counted among the 16 first class nobles of Mewar and was conferred the title of ''Rawat'' by Maharana of Mewar. After the Islamic incursions into medieval India, the Turks held it briefly but Banbir, son of Maldeo re-captured it from them in the time of Rana Hamir around AD 1330. When Maharaj Shakti Singh saved his brother Rana Pratap from the chasing Mughals in the Battle of Haldighati, the great Maharana awarded Bhainsror to Shakta's sons and it became a headquarters of the Shaktawat clan. Around 1741, Bhainsror was awarded to Rawat Lal Singh for killing an enemy of the Maharana Jagat Singh II of Udaipur. The present fort is around 260 years old and was built in the 1740s. Bhainsrorgarh fort has now been converted into a luxury heritage hotel run by the erstwhile royal family and is a very popular tourist spot for tourists from all around the world.〔http://www.bhainsrorgarh.com/theme_18/lib.plugins/the_fort.php〕 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chastana , or Castana, was a ruler of the Saka Western Satraps in northwestern India around 130 CE. He was satrap of Ujjain during that period. A statue found in Mathura together with statues of the Kushan king Kanishka and Vima Taktu, and bearing the name "Shastana" is often attributed to Castana himself. Chastana is called Tisman by the bards, a spelling that matches the Greek rendition of his name more closely and is one of the most famous Ror kings and a lot of his coins have been found in the Agra area clearly identifying him as Ror -Vanshi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhainsrorgarh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
