Barabati Fort
ବାରବାଟୀ ଦୁର୍ଗ
The ruins of a 14th-century Eastern Ganga dynasty fort in Cuttack, with remnants of a moat and stone gates, next to a famous cricket ground.
Barabati Fort is in Cuttack, about 25 km north of Bhubaneswar. It is traditionally said to date to the 14th century under the Eastern Ganga dynasty, and was later used by the Marathas and the British. Most buildings inside the fort are now gone, but the wide moat, stone gateways and earthen mounds remain. Beside it is Barabati Stadium, one of India's best-known cricket grounds. In Cuttack you can also visit the Netaji Birth Place Museum, the Chandi Temple and silver filigree workshops, and experience the atmosphere of Odisha's former capital.
