Rohtasgarh Fort : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rohtasgarh Fort
The Rohtasgarh Fort or Rohtas Fort is one of the most ancient forts of India located in a small town of Rohtas in Bihar. The culture of the Sone Valley is best symbolized by the Rohtas Fort which is a testimony of strength and power. The majestic fort lies in utter state of ruins reminiscent of its great past, frequented few times by the naxalites and the police patrol parties. Proximity to the naxalite affected areas has rendered the fort quiet inaccessible in recent times. ==Origins==
By legend, the fort was built by King Harishchandra of the Suryavansh dynasty and was named after his son Rohitasva. The Rohtas Fort was constructed on a plateau over the top of a hill with steeply rising sides. The steps directing to the fort cut into limestone of the hill. Many streams crossed the plateau and the soil was productive, which help in easy growth of the crops, so that the inhabitants of the fort could hold out for months against an enemy besieging the fort. Forest and wild animals surrounded the hill and dacoits provided other natural and man-made barriers.
