Hiranagar Fort Kathua district, Jammu & Kashmir

The mid-19th century site of Hiranagar, once a symbol of royal grandeur, is now in ruins. The fort houses a sanctum of Mahakali. Located about 5km south from NH 1A, devotees from all over the district come and visit the temple of the fort, but the fort lies in utter neglect. According to local legend, the temple was established by Maharaja Hira Singh. Hence, the fort and township was named after him.
