Most of the forts in India are actually castles, fortified palaces or fortresses, but when the British Government in India were cataloguing the defences in the 17th–19th century, they used the word forts which became the common description across India.

A fort can also be called a fortress or a fortification, although typically a fortress describes a larger structure or a series of structures, while a fort is usually only one.

Rajasthan, literally means Raja ka Sthan(Place of King), has most of the mighty forts in India. One of the greatest forts in India is Mehrangarh Fort which is beaded on the land of Jodhpur. Mehrangarh Fort is one of the biggest forts in India.
