The
origins of the seven-turreted Hill Fort of Kesroli are traced back to over
six centuries. It is reputed to have
been built by the Yaduvanshi Rajputs, descendants of Lord Krishna, who
converted to Islam in the mid - 14th century to be called Khanzadas. It
subsequently changed hands, being conquered by the Mughals and the Jats
before reverting to the Rajputs in 1775 when the princely state of Alwar
was founded. It saw its golden period under the Ranawat Thakur Bhawani
Singh (1882-1934), renowned for his equestrian skills.
Located
in the heart of the 'golden triangle', Kesroli is almost equidistant from
the tourist sites of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. These include the Sariska
tiger sanctuary, the Ghana bird sanctuary, Kankwadi fort, the mounments of
Tijara, Rajgarh, Machari, Viratnager, Deeg, Bharatpur, the Jat mud fort of
Govindgarh, the ancient city of Mathura and its renowned museum.
