[Original caption] Gwalior Fortress has figured in Indian history since the sixth-century and is situated on a precipitous, flat-topped, isolated sandstone hill, 300 feet above the town. This most famous of Indian strongholds has been called "the pearl in the necklace of the castles of Hind." The walls are from 30 to 35 feet high, and the rock below them is steeply scarped all around the hill. [End]
