No. 11. Rotasgur Fort. One of a series of plans of forts and passes on the W. border of Bihar, copied from the original by Lieut Robert Smith

Pen-and-ink and water-colour map of Rohtasgarh fort copied from the original by Lieut Robert Smith (1787-1873), c.1813. This is one of six plans of forts and passes on the west border of Bihar in the north east of India. Inscribed on the front of the folder in ink is: 'Plans of Forts & Passes on the South West Frontier of Bengal. Copied from the Original by Lieut. Robt. Smith of the Engineers.' Rohtasgarh is a hill fort near Sasaram, Bengal. It derives its name from the young prince Rohitaswa, son of Haris Chandra, king of the Solar race. Little is known of the fort until 1100 when it is supposed to have belonged to Pratap Dhawala, father of the last Hindu king. Sher Shah captured Rohtasgarh in 1539 and immediately began to strengthen the fortifications; but the work had not progressed far before he selected a new site at the place still known as Shergarh. Man Singh, Akbar's Hindu general, on being appointed viceroy of Bengal and Bihar selected Rohtasgarh as his stronghold. Smith, Robert (1787-1873), Artist

Nos. 8-10. Palamow Fort, Agowry Fort, Ancient Hindoo Temples at Marra in Singrowla. From a series of plans of forts and passes on the W. border of Bihar, copied from the original by Lieut Robert Smith

Pen-and-ink and water-colour plans of the forts at Agori and Palamau and of Hindu Temples at Marra after Robert Smith (1787-1873), c.1813. This is one of six plans of forts and passes on the west border of Bihar. Inscribed on the front of the folder in ink is: 'Plans of Forts & Passes on the South West Frontier of Bengal. Copied from the Original by Lieut. Robt. Smith of the Engineers.' There are two large forts at Palamau said to have been built by the Adivasi kings of the Chero dynasty. Construction of the forts was begun by Raja Medhni Raj, the ruler of Chotanagpur, however they were completed by his son Pratap Raj while Medhni Raj was engaged with repelling invaders. The main fort has three main defences, the largest of which is named Singh Dwar or Lion Gate. The Nagpuri Gate bears two inscriptions in Sanskrit and Persian. Smith, Robert (1787-1873), Artist
