About Hathras Fort
Daya Ram, the Jat chief of Hathras, held one of the strongest mud forts in the Doab here, with a deep ditch and thick ramparts. The British besieged it in February 1817 and battered it for days with a very heavy siege train, until a magazine exploded and Daya Ram slipped out in the night. Only fragments of the earthworks remain, with a temple and houses on the mound.
What to see and do
- Daya Ram's 1817 stand against the British
- Fragments of the ramparts and ditch
- The old town below the mound
