Bijnot Fort
Bijnot, Pakistan, Pakistan
Bijnot Fort is an ancient ruined fortress located in the Cholistan Desert of Punjab, Pakistan, near the India-Pakistan border.
Also known historically as Winjhrot, the fort is believed to have been founded in the 8th century and was associated with Rajput rulers for many centuries. Built primarily from limestone blocks and lime mortar, the fort has an almost square layout with corner bastions and water reservoirs inside its walls.
Despite its ruined condition, many of its original defensive features are still visible today. The fort suffered significant damage over time, particularly during the 1971 India-Pakistan War, when artillery shelling accelerated its decline. Today, Bijnot Fort remains an important historical site in the Cholistan Desert, valued for its connection to the region’s Rajput heritage and desert history.
