The
construction of the fort began in 1523 AD in the fairytale land of majestic
forts and palaces. The fort's battle-scarred walls and turrets are a tell-tale
reminder of Khimsar's glorious past. In mid 18th century, the royal family moved
in and a new 'zenana' (ladies' wing) was built with finely carved windows in
stone grills to provide 'purdah' or veil for ladies-in-waiting. Subsequently,
Thakur Onkar Singh built for himself a regal wing.
In 1997-98, the Khimsar Fort was awarded the Grand Heritage classification
by the Department of Tourism, Government of India. A section of the fort still
remains the residence of the royal family of Khimsar.
