Moj Garh Fort is a historicfort, about 70 km (43 mi) fromBahawalnagar city, along theYazman–Fort Abbas road in Thandi Khoi, in theBahawalnagar District ofPunjab, Pakistan.[1] It is located in theCholistan Desert near theborder with India.[1]
Moj Garh Fort was constructed by Emperor Maroof Khan Kehrani in 1743 AD.[2] It was built using solid bricks and mud and was decorated with glazed tiles.[2] Adome was constructed 370 m (400 yd) south of the fort.[2]
By the turn of the century[vague], Moj Garh Fort had collapsed, and only its crumbled structure remains.[1] The Desert Rangers have since taken over the fort and initiated preservation and rehabilitation efforts.[1]
The exterior and interior facing bricks of the fortification wall are missing in several places, exposing the underlying mud-brick pit.[3] Despite the damage, about half of the relics have survived, with the exterior wall and interior structure still prominently visible.[4]
