One ambles through the cobbled paths of the city with balconies of houses (known as havelis) jutting out from both sides of a narrow passage almost touching one another, and arrives at the fort on the highest point (250 feet) of the Trikuta hill. The fort, for its antiquity, is perhaps less old only
to the Chittor Fort. One enters the fort through Suraj Pol or the Gate of the Sun. The seven-storeyed old palace is remarkable for its umbrella-shaped attics, typical of the Bhati Rajput architecture, intricately carved balconies and cupolas adorned with stone traceries. A well here is believed to have been dug by Lord Krishna. Nearby stands the 14th century temple of Lakshmi Nathji (Vishnu). The deity is very old and had been brought from a distant place. There are two more temples for Shiva and Ganesh.
