CHANWA
FORT - Maharaja
Jaswant Singh II Ruler
of Jodhpur Marwar from 1876-1895 A.D. is remembered as the benign Monarch
who steered the administration and economy of Marwar away from chaos and
instability to a period of sustained development and security and justice
for all. Amongst the prominent civil servants in this Ruler's coterie of
administrators, was a young Charan named Kaviraj Muraridanji. He was an
astute politician and a farsighted administrator. In 1894 Kaviraj
Muraridanji received in Jagir the little known hamlet of Chanwa. There he
built an exquisite little Fortress palace today known as Fort Chanwa. Fort
Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of Elegance and Symmetry in
Indian architecture of the last century. The entire fortress is carved out
of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur and with its ornately carved
lattice work friezes and intricate Jherokas it exquisitely captures the
romance and grace of a bygone age.
