Gobindgarh Fort
Gobindgarh Fort – A Majestic Blend of History, Culture, and Pride
Located in the heart of Amritsar, Gobindgarh Fort is a powerful symbol of Punjab’s martial legacy and resilience. Originally built in the 18th century by the Bhangi Misl and later fortified by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the fort has witnessed centuries of transformation — from Sikh rule to British occupation, and finally to its present-day revival as a cultural heritage site.
The sprawling structure covers over 40 acres and offers a unique glimpse into Punjab’s military architecture, complete with grand gates, watchtowers, and bastions. Today, the fort has been meticulously restored to serve as a living museum, celebrating the spirit, valor, and diversity of Punjab. Within its walls, visitors can explore a war museum, a coin museum, and a bazaar-style market, and enjoy live cultural performances, including the lively Bhangra and Gidda dances.
What truly sets Gobindgarh Fort apart is its immersive 7D show on Maharaja Ranjit Singh, where technology meets storytelling to bring the glorious past to life. Whether it’s the light and sound show, traditional food stalls, or hands-on exhibits, every corner of the fort radiates history, pride, and vibrancy.
