Lovely thread and equally enticing photography! Places of historical importance do draw my attention, more so, when they are as beautiful as Kot Dijii. Believe me, while glancing through your photos, I was almost fumbling across my chest and stomach, trying to reach for my camera! Kot Dijii is almost, if not more, as beautiful and photogenic as any other fort that I have had the good fortune to visit in India.
Your thread prompted me to google about this fort and this is what I came up with:
"The fort was considered invincible and served as the residence of the Emirs of Khairpur in times of peace. It is, therefore, the ancestral home of royal house. During war time the zenana (female members of the royal family), would be shifted to Shahgarh Fort, formerly within the realm but since 1843, after the conquest of the rest of Sindh, it is in the Thar and Jaisalmer desert, now in India. When the Zenana moved into the comfort of palaces, it stood mainly as a decorated reminder of more violent times. Throughout its whole history, however, Fort Kot Diji was never attacked.”
Well, I can see my next trip taking shape. The heading for that thread would be “In search of Shahgarh”
