With a history that speaks volumes of the sheer might and courage of the Singhpuria clan.
This historic fort carries the emblem of the Singhpuria victory over the rulers of Sirhind. Originally built by the Lodhis the Kandhola Fort is now in a state of dilapidation.

Though the Fort still stands tall, it is sadly only a shadow of its yesteryears. Like the light from a burning oil lamp, Kandhola Fort is dying out with the passage of time. An important piece of Sikh history is in threat of being lost forever.
The present owners of the estate (S.Gurjitinder Singh Virk and S.Baleshwar Singh Virk) of Kandhola are now trying to restore their rich heritage.
