GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Persian ruler was said to be captivated by the immense treasures of the Kangra fort. Muhammad Bin Tughlaq, the Turkic Sultan of Delhi, was the next ruler to capture the fort later in 1337.

Detailed explanation-2: -The much-revered idol in the fort has received rich offerings. Given Kangra’s wealth plus the belief that whoever controls the fort controls the hills, it was attacked 52 times, first by the Raja of Kashmir, Shreshta, in 470 A.D. Later, Mahmud of Ghazni (in 1009 A.D.) and Timur attacked it and looted it.
