The\u00a0Jhansi Fort<\/strong>\u00a0(4 kms from the railway junction) bears testament to the city’s turbulent history; it was built on a rocky outcrop in a town then known as Balwantnagar (now Jhansi). Today the fort, with well-manicured lawns, impresses one by its sheer size, particularly of its battlements.<\/p>\n

The fort has ten gates or\u00a0darwazas,<\/em>\u00a0and the first eight of these retain their original wooden doors. The complex extends to a sprawling 15 acres and measures about 312 m in length and 225 m in width. A breath in the wall between Sainyar and Jhirna gates dates back to the war in 1858, when British soldiers managed to destroy this part of the wall. Apart from these, there are also four smaller entrances or\u00a0khirkis<\/em>\u00a0in the walls.<\/p>\n

There is a massive canon called\u00a0Kadak Bijli<\/em>\u00a0Tope<\/em>\u00a0near one of the entrances, believed to have been used by Ghulam Gaus Khan, the Chief of Cavalry.<\/p>\n

Within the fort complex is\u00a0Panch Mahal,<\/strong>\u00a0a five-storey palace where Lakshmibai lived with Raja Gangadhar Rao. Soon after his death, she shifted to Rani Mahal, outside the fort.<\/p>\n

Across\u00a0Ranch Mahal<\/strong>, one sees a signboard that indicates the exact spot where Rani Lakshmibai Is believed to have jumped, astride her horse, to escape the British. One of the many stories surrounding this incident says that the impact of the fall broke the horse’s legs and the Rani had to make it to Gwalior on foot.<\/p>\n

The complex has two well-kept temples,\u00a0Ganesh Mandir<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Shiv Mandir.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few minutes from the fort is\u00a0Rani Mahal.<\/strong>\u00a0Built during the latter half of the 18th century, Lakshmibai’s palace has a quadrangular courtyard with a small well and two fountains. Paintings of flowers, black bucks, peacocks and other birds can still be seen on the walls of the durbar hall.<\/p>\n

Across the palace are skeletal ruins of structures that were once used as stables. The palace and the ruins were taken over by the ASI in 1961.<\/p>\n

About 3 kms from the Fort is the\u00a0Government Museum,<\/strong>\u00a0a repository of weapons, statues and photographs that belonged to the Chandela dynasty. Photography is permitted in the museum, but with due permission. (Closed on Mondays and second\u00a0Saturday\u00a0of every month).<\/p>\n

Right opposite the Museum is Lakshmibai Park, with a statue of the queen astride her horse. Close by is Gangadhar Rao ki Chhatri, the cenotaph of her husband built in 1853. The intricate carvings on its 12 pillars and its curved roof are examples of architectural excellence from the 19th century.<\/p>\n

St. Jude’s Church<\/strong>, a Catholic church, is known to be the first shrine of St. Jude in all of south Asia. Its foundation was laid on October 29, 1956. During the holy Novena and the feast of the saint in October, the shrine teems with pilgrims.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Lakshmi Tal<\/strong>\u00a0on the outskirts of the city is a popular picnic spot.<\/p>\n

About 24 kms from Jhansi on the Jhansi-Mauranipur road is the small, historic town of\u00a0Barua Sagar,<\/strong>\u00a0where a battle between the Peshwa troops and Bundelas was fought in 1944. An old fort built by Rap Udit Singh is picturesquely situated here and commands an excellent view of a large lake and surrounding landscape. There are ruins of two ancient Chandela temples here, the older one known as\u00a0Ghughua Math,<\/strong>\u00a0made of granite and consisting of four cells, each with ornamented doorways, three bearing the image of Ganesh and a fourth the figure of Durga. There is an old mound crowned with a tower, called\u00a0Jarai Ki Math,<\/strong>which houses an image of Shiva and Parvati. The eastern side of the tower is lavishly decorated with hooded balconies.<\/p>\n
