I happened to make a visit to this ancient fort located just opposite to the Raj tourism office building. It’s an amazing fort. I was told that the king had got this fort made for his staff who were his army heads. Cooks. Etc and they used to live here with their families. Unfortunately it’s occupied by some families who have been living there since ages. The fort should be restored by the local ASI. tourism department and preserved. Or else it will fall apart in few years from now.

The fort is in very dilapidated state. It is not under government or any trust. And 10 families are staying inside the fort. Few of them are the descendants of Hindu sadhu who was made to stay here since it houses an old Hindu temple. The walls are still intact however sign of poor maintenance is visible.
