Mud Fort, Abohar

A ruined medieval mud-brick fort in Abohar town, Fazilka district, on what was the old Multan-Delhi caravan route. Associated in local tradition with Rai Muhammad Bakhtiar's thirteenth-century garrison and later Mughal reconstruction; now a protected archaeological site of weathered packed-earth bastions and a central tank.
