Gwalior Fort
Urwai Gate, , Gwalior, IndiaGwalior Fort, established by the Tomars, is considered to be one of the most formidable forts in India. Being built on a solid stone outcrop, it provides an eagle's eye. The Fort, popularly called “the Gibraltar of India”, overlooks the city. The Emperor Babur reputedly described it as “the pearl in the necklace of the forts of Hind”. This fort’s architecture is unique. It displays a Chinese influence on Indian architecture, as Chinese dragons have been crafted at the hilt of the pillars. This influence was due to trade between China and India at the time of the fort’s construction.

The temple bears a close resemblance to the temple of Prathihara Vishnu and is filled with images of coiled serpents, passionate couples, river goddesses, and a flying Garuda. Having literally translated its name to "Oilman's Temple," The temple boasts of being the loftiest structure in Fort, with a height of 30m. The temple consists of many inscriptions of Mother Goddess but lacks any type of clear description as to when and for which deity it was created.30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location4
