A small vilage near Sawai Madhopur
(10 kms), it gets the name from the two hills, Ran and
Thambhor which are in close proximity. The age old
massive fort is built on the Thambhor hill, and is
considered to be one of the oldest forts in the state.
It has a chequered history, and was the stronghold of
Yadav Kings in 8th century, and 10th century onwards the
Chauhans ruled over it. Mughal Emperors Akbar and
Aurangzeb also occupied this magnificent fort.
The massive ramparts and the mighty
gates of the fort have faced many attacks valinity. The
chivalry of King Hammir is still remembered,
who faced Alauddin Khilji gallantly against all odds.
The fort houses many palaces, but most of them are in
ruins. |
