KALINJAR

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 642 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KALINJAR , a town and hill fort of British India in the
Banda
 
district
  of the United Provinces. Pop. (19o1), 3015. The fort stands on an isolated
rock
 , the termination of the
Vindhya
  range, at an
elevation
  of 1203 ft., overlooking the plains of Bundelkhand. Kalinjar is the most characteristic specimen of the hill-fortresses, originally hill-shrines, of central India. Its antiquity is proved by its mention in the Mahabharata. It was besieged by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1023, and here the Afghan emperor Sher Shah met his death in 1545, and Kalinjar played a prominent
part
  in history down to the time of the Mutiny in 1857, when it was held by a small British garrison. Both the fort and the town, which stands at the foot of the hill, are of
interest
  to the antiquary on account of their remains of temples, sculptures,
inscriptions
  and caves.
