Bijaigarh Fort




Also known as Vijaygarh Fort, Bijaigarh Fort is the most visited site in Bayana of Bharatpur District. It was built by Jadon Raja Bijai Pal in 1040 AD. The fort has several old temples and a red sandstone pillar bearing an inscription of Vishnuvardhan - a feudatory of Samudra Gupta. Besides, there is a monolithic sandstone pillar which is a curious combination of Hindu and Mohammedan styles.
