A study of forts and fortifications is a desideratum in order to understand the system of detence and military architecture of India. Yet, this aspect is the most neglected one, and it received quite scanty attention at the hands of scholars in historical studies. The only accounts of forts that are available today, are in the volumes of Gazetteers, both Imperial and Provincial series, District Manuals and district Gazetteers. But these are mostly general in nature, giving a brief historical account of the forts, rather than making any study of its account architecture or military aspect.
