A Trip to Rothas Fort

Today me and Z went on a day's trip to Rothas Fort with my school. After a journey of 3.5 hours. We reached Rothas.

The fort was bulit by Shair Shah Suri in order to defend the city from Mangol attacks.

The photo is a part of one of main gates; is the best example of masonry in use in the time of Sher Shah. It derives its name from a Saint names Sohail Bukhari buried in the south-western bastion of the gate. Others say that it was names after the Sohail Star which rises on this side of the fort.
It is a double gate rectangular in shape. It is 21.34 meters (70 ft) high, 20.73 meters (68 ft) wide and 15 meters (50 ft) deep. The central archway is 4.72 meters (15 ft) wide. It has an inner and an outer arch which is decorated with beautiful and simple motifs of sunflower. This decoration is repeated in all parts of the Qila.

We reached home by 10:00 pm, it is now mid night! This reminds me i'm tired and sleepy

Have s Happy Sunday!
