About

The Hiranagar Fort, also known as Jasmergarh Fort is a historic fort located in the town of Hiranagar in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Built in the mid-19th century by Raja Hira Singh, the fort served as an administrative and military center for the region during the Dogra rule. Positioned on a slight elevation, the fort overlooks the surrounding plains and houses remnants of royal architecture, including a palace and prison complex.
