Bahadurgarh Fort

Patiala, Punjab, India

Bahadurgarh Fort near Patiala, Punjab, India, was originally constructed in 1658 CE by Nawab Saif Khan and later renovated extensively by Maharaja Karam Singh of Patiala in 1837.

Spread over roughly 21 square kilometers, the fort is circular in shape with two ramparts and a moat, designed for strong defense. It was named Bahadurgarh by Maharaja Karam Singh in honor of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, who stayed at the fort for about three months before his martyrdom.

The fort complex includes the historic Gurdwara Sahib Patshai Nauvin, reflecting fine Sikh architecture, and a mosque built by Nawab Saif Khan. Nawab Saif Khan's tomb is located nearby, and a fair is held in his memory annually.

The fort today is used by the Punjab Police Commando Training School but remains a monument showcasing Mughal and Sikh era architecture, military history, and spiritual significance, attracting visitors during festivals like Baisakhi.
