The Fort Needs Your Attention

 A 500-year old fort. May be in ruins. But still very imposing.

Does it tickle your brain? Suggest a caption to win KBG-54, the 54th edition of Kaun Banega Ghumakkad, your favourite online caption contest! Shorter the caption the better it is.

A word about the picture. The fort built during 15th Century AD overlooks the Tehsil town of Jahazpur (also spelt as Jahajpur) in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan India. Located 200 kms south of Jaipur, Jahazpur is not really on the tourist map. Swastidham a Jain temple is under construction in Jahazpur. When we visited Swastidham with another couple in 2018, the fort caught my eye from a few kms away. One afternoon, me and our driver set course in general direction of the fort. The approach, the climb, the ruins and the view were all worth the effort. The driver actually refused to climb with me saying 'yahan to bhoot rahtey hain'- this place is haunted. You may browse the full story in our earlier post titled 'The Ruins of Jahajpur Fort'.

Now get going and give your caption pronto!
