The
Hill Fort - ( Neemrana Group ) Kesroli, Alwar, Rajasthan,
India
The origins of the seven-turreted Hill Fort of Kesroli
are traced back to over six centuries. It is reputed to
have been built by the Yaduvanshi Rajputs, descendants
of Lord Krishna, who converted to Islam in the mid - 14th
century to be called Khanzadas. It subsequently changed
hands, being conquered by the Mughals and the Jats before
reverting to the Rajputs in 1775 when the princely state
of Alwar was founded. It saw its golden period under the
Ranawat Thakur Bhawani Singh (1882-1934), renowned for
his equestrian skills. .
