Chapter 227: Battle of Kashmir Part - 10(Re-updated)

Hari parbat fort, Southern gate, Srinagar.

Hari Parbat Fort was a single-walled fortress, comparatively smaller than other city-like forts and known only for its strategic build on high elevated terrain to keep watch over the entrance of the whole city of Srinagar.

Its thick stone walls were like a patchwork of labyrinthine corridors and ramparts that protected the royal palace which served as fort's keep at its center.

The eastern section of the fort held the armoury, barracks, and storerooms for military supplies, while the western side contained manors and residences for civilians. To the north lay the palace garden, while the inner courtyard stretched across the southern side.
