TIMANGARH FORT
Timangarh The Timangarh Fort, situated at a
desolate location near Masalpur sub tehsil headquarters about 40 kms
from Karauli, is famous as a storehouse of ancient ashtadhatu and stone
idols and sculptures, hidden underground near the various temples
located inside the Fort complex. The beautiful carvings on the temples,
both religious and geometrical, are striking proof of the exquisite
workmanship of highly skilled artisans that once operated in this
region. Mixed Iron-Metal pellets abound on the nearby hillocks, and give
pointers about this area having been a nerve center of metal idol- and
weapon- making in its heydays. The Fort also offers a beautiful view of
the Sagar lake next to it, and villagers still cherish hopes of the day
when they can find the paras stone believed to be somewhere at the
bottom of the lake.
