of Alwar & Sariska. The origins of the
seven-turreted Hill-Fort Kesroli are traced back to over six
centuries. It is reputed to have been built by the Yaduvanshi
Rajputs, descendants of Lord Krishna, who converted to Islam in the
mid - 14th century to be called Khanzadas. It subsequently changed
hands, being conquered by the Mughals and the Jats before reverting
to the Rajputs in 1775 when the princely state of Alwar was founded.
It saw its golden period under the Ranawat Thakur Bhawani Singh
(1882-1934), renowned for his equestrian skills.
