At that time local red stones and mud were used for the construction of this fort. This fort was constructed on the top of Jodh hill and this mountain was named relating to Raja Jodh. A palace was constructed inside this fort where the Raja was lived. Two ponds were constructed to store water in which the water of rain was stored. Seventy houses were constructed for the residence of soldiers. Raja Jodh was Muslim king because the father of Raja Jodh embraced Islam on the hand of Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi but the Hindus soldiers were in large numbers in Raja Jodh Army therefore two temples were constructed inside this fort which is consists of a small building and it were constructed on the top of a fort on the bank of a deep ditch. The area of this fort is 13 acre and its main door remained till 1901 now it has disappeared. The ruins of palace and fort remain now. Houses have been eliminated and a thick forest has been grown up naturally in this fort. Now the wild animals are in large numbers now and long grass has been grown everywhere in which snakes and other insects live.
