Derawar Fort (Urdu:
قِلعہ دراوڑ), is a huge square
fortification in Ahmadpur East Tehsil, Punjab, Pakistan. Roughly 130 km south
of the city of Bahawalpur, the forty strongholds of Derawar are apparent for
some miles in the Cholistan Desert. The dividers have an edge of 1500 meters
and confront thirty meters high.
Derawar stronghold was
first inherent the ninth century AD by Rai Jajja Bhati, a Hindu Rajput leader
of the Bhati clan, as an accolade for Rawal Deoraj Bhati the ruler of Jaisalmer
and Bahawalpur.The fortification was at first known as Dera Rawal, and later
alluded to as Dera Rawar, which with the progression of opportunity arrived to
be articulated Derawar, its present name.
In the eighteenth
century, the stronghold was taken over by Muslim Nawabs of Bahawalpur from the
Shahotra clan. It was later reconstructed in its present structure in 1732 by
the Abbasi ruler Nawab Sadeq Muhammad, yet in 1747 the fortification slipped
from their hands attributable to Bahawal Khan's distractions at Shikarpur.
Nawab Mubarak Khan took
the fortress back in 1804. 1,000 year-old sling shells were found in the trash
almost a rotting divider in the fort. Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan Abbasi V, the
twelfth and last leader of Bahawalpur State, was brought into the world in the
fortification in 1904. This generally huge stronghold presents a tremendous and
great construction in the core of the Cholistan desert, however it is quickly
weakening and needing prompt preventive measures for protection
