Qila Mubarak, Bathinda, Punjab



Qila Mubarak, is a historical monument in the heart of the city of Bathinda in India. It has been in existence for approximately 1400 years in its current place. It was here that Razia Sultan, the first woman to take charge of the Delhi throne was incarcerated on her defeat and dethroned. The bricks of the fort date back to the Kushana period when emperor Kanishka ruled over Northern India/Bactria. Raja Dab, along with emperor Kanishka, is believed to have built the fort.
