Much of its magnificent structure is still in place, though the forest has grown into its cracks, giving it a truly ethereal air. Langur monkeys and peacocks are often found here and it’s not unusual to see small herds of deer running around the environs of the fortress. Those who are very lucky may also spot the odd tiger among its ramparts. Ranthambore Fort was a gift from the Mughal emperor Shah Alam, to his Rajput counterpart, Sawai Madho Singh I of Jaipur and was completed in 1754 AD, and since then, Ranthambore became the private hunting ground for the Maharajas of Jaipur. The archaeological department took it over in 1964 and has since made it a protected heritage site.
