In this video we visited one of the highest points in #srinagar i.e. Hari Parbat Fort. #hariparbat is also called Koh-i-Maran, is a hill overlooking Srinagar, the largest city and the capital of #jammukashmir , India. It is the site of the Hari Parbat #fort , built by the #durrani Empire, and of a #hindutemple , #mosques , and #gurdwara .
The first fortifications on the site were constructed by the #mughal emperor #akbar in 1590 who built an outer wall for the fort as part of his plans for a new capital at the site of modern-day Srinagar city in Kashmir. The project, however, was never completed. The present fort was built in 1808 under the reign of the Governor of Kashmir Province of the Durrani Empire, Atta Mohammed Khan.
The fort can be reached via two sides of the city, (a) via Rainawari through Kathi Darwaza Gate and (b) via Hawal through the Sangin Darwaza Gate. The fort was closed for almost 2 decades and thrown open to the public in 2007.
The Indian government on 15 August 2021 (the 75th independence day) hoisted a 100 feet tall #indianflag on the top of the fort.
Majestically residing on the highest part of Srinagar, the Hari Parbat Fort echoes many historic events. One of the most significant events in the fort's history was the siege of 1595 when Mughal emperor Akbar's forces attacked the fort, which was held by the local Afghan governor Yusuf Khan. The prolonged siege caused immense suffering to the defenders who were forced to surrender due to hunger and disease. The fort was then occupied by the Mughals for several years. What once was taken by force is now a resident of peace, the fort proudly houses a mosque, a temple, and a gurudwara, which are all symbols of the religious diversity of the region and India at large. Proudly showcasing from the highest hilltops that unity and harmony reside in all. Watch :
