Asigarh Fort, also called Hansi Fort, is located on the eastern bank of Amti lake in Hansi city of Haryana, India, about 135 km from Delhi on NH9. Spread over 30 acres, in its prime days this fort used to be in control of 80 forts in the area around it.[1] The fort is said to be one of the most impregnable forts of ancient India[2] and has been declared a centrally protected monument by ASI in 1937.[3]
