<\/a><\/a>Northern Kafir Kot Fort ruins<\/h2>\n

On the road from DI Khan to Chashma Barrage lies the Northern Kafir Kot Ruins. This fort was said to have been established by the Hindu Shahi Raja Till in the 7th<\/sup> century. Raja Till was the brother of Raja Bill, who had his own fort down south. There are no markings of this fort and very few remains of it above ground, so you\u2019d have to keep an eye out for it along the highway.<\/p>\n

Southern Bilout Kafir Kot Fort ruins<\/h2>\n

Established by Hindu Shahi Raja Bill in the 7th<\/sup> century, these ruins still have the temple and harem buildings intact somewhat. These buildings are typical of Hindu Shahi structures spread along the Khushab \u2013 Salt Range \u2013Chakwal, on the West-East Axis. Sandstone is the typical rock used in these structures because it can be carved easily to reveal staggering idols.<\/p>\n

The only difference between Bilout Fort, Amb Sharif<\/a>, and Malot Fort<\/a> in Chakwal is that Malot has red sandstone carvings on temple walls that are probably built by the same architect. The style of construction is the same, inspired by Buddhist temples of Thailand, but they are actually Hindu temples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
