Folks, yesterday marked the 3th anniversary of the day when the Sikhs, led by Banda Singh Bahadur entered the city of #Sirhind.

Explored some parts of #Punjab over the weekend. Pics of the fort at #Bathinda, the current standing structure of which is mentioned as the oldest existing fort in India. Some of the material used, though, has been dated to the Kushan period.
The bulbous bastions of the fort at #Bhatinda are similar to those I observed in another desert fort in this region some years ago - at Bhatner, in Hanumangarh, #Rajasthan. Perhaps a common feature in forts bordering the desert, as a protection in the flat terrain.
While the antiquity of the fort at #Bathinda is highly debatable, what is sadly clear is that the fort is on its last leg. The walls are crumbling to the extent that access to them has been barred for visitors.
