    Aka Hansi Fort, the Fort used to be the centre of sword making in ancient times, it is believed that during its prime time it used to control 80 forts in the area around it hence the name Asigarh(asi=80, garh means fort). The fort is well maintained by ASI, the fort contains remains of old architecture, peer baba mazar. It is believed that this fort was constructed by "Harshvardhan" and later "Prithivi Raj Chouhan" made some additions to it. A must visit place for a history lover.

    My experience at Asigarh Fort is good. Asigarh is nice historical place. If you are from Hansi then you must visit here. You should go here only in the morning or evening because it gets very hot here during the day. Thanks for reading my review

    Very Nice 💯🙂 Historical Place 😍 According to an inscription found here in 1815, this fort was under the authority of King Prithviraja during 12th century. In 1334, Moroccan adventurer Ibn Batuta visited Hansi and the fort. He later left behind the following account of the city of Hansi in his 'Rihla'. Chalisa famine of 1783-84 left this whole area devastated. Several nearby villages were abandoned and the city of Hansi itself was largely deserted. Later around the year 1798 when George Thomas decided to make Hansi his capital, he made several efforts to rehabilitate it. He got the city walls and the fort repaired, wells were dug and new buildings were erected on the fort. Thomas’s reign was of very short time and was over with the Battle of Hansi (in December 1801), against Marathas. In this battle Maratha guns had caused a great damage to this previously impenetrable fort but it was only after a long siege and a fierce battle that Thomas finally agreed to surrender the city and the fort. Lt. Col. James Skinner, fought on the Maratha side. After the treaty of 1803 with the Marathas (Scindhia), East India Company established its authority over this territory and this fort was now to be used for administrative and military purposes. Now partially restored one can see the Baradari, Old Serai, Jama Masjid, Moti masjid and the tomb of Miran Sahib

    This fort is one of the forts of India's greatest hero Prithviraj Chauhan. It is located in Hasi, Haryana. The approach roads are well maintained and the fort is easily accessible, however there is no signage or boards advertising the fort near ir around in the surrounding. We used Google Maps to locate the fort. The vibe of the King is stl there and the grandeur can still be felt. Locals use the fort as a dumping ground and a cricket ground now. Better upkeep could have made his as a great historical monument and generate revenue for the local population and business

    One of the most iconic structures of the Nation. Neglected by the Government. Can be developed as Tourist Place

    Based on what I read on reviews I visited this fort which is supposedly called Hindu fort whch the Tomars and Privthiraj Chauhan used. What I found intact was a temple with a green colour dome, some monuments with strong Islamic influence a building with British look and a small number of pillars bearing Hindu influence. The view from top was probably the vantage point. There is no parking. Access road is narrow and convenient for 2 wheelers. The temple- dargah seemed popular amongst locals.

    Sanskrit inscription of Prithviraja II from Switzerland This inscription is engraved on a stone kept in National Museum of Scotland, originally found in the village Hānsi,Hisar district,Haryana It is written in Sanskrit language and Nāgari characters,dated Samvat 1224,(Sarvajit),Māgha,ba.7,Thursday. It belongs to the Prthviraja of Chāhamāna dynasty. This inscription is a praśasti and its object is to describe Kilhaṇa’s conquest of Paṁchapura and its chief.

He was put in charge of the fort of Āsika to check the progress of Hammīra, i.e., of course, the Muhammadan emperors. He erected a pratoli, i.e., a pol, or gateway and constructed two koshṭhakas or granaries near them.The praśasti was composed by one Lakshamaṇa of Ḍoḍa race.

It was built in 1303 AD by Sultan Alaud-din Khilji in 1303 AD and eventually repaired in 1522 AD during the rule of Ibrahim Lodhi....
