Encircled by a surrounding wall, the fort has twenty-one bastions, the distance between the two bastions being 115 feet. The fort has two gates, one to the east and other to the west. The surrounding wall on the side of the municipal office was dismantled and a road was constructed there in 1948. In front of the entrance gate are the temples of Maruti, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesha and another temple of Mahadeo with five faces.In the fort compound is also located a temple dedicated to Rama.
