The Bilot Fort Temples By Hindu Shahi 700 Ad to 800 Ad
Bilot (Bilout shrief ) is an ancient ruin in Dera Ismail Khan District, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. According to the district Gazetteer of Mianwali of 1915 the remains
of Bilot (and the nearby ruin of Mari) "are indication of the existence of a Hindu civilization of considerable importance and antiquity". It is located at 32°30'0N 71°19'60E
The ruin consists of two forts in the north-west of the district on small hills attached to the lower spurs of the Khasor Range, and overlooking the Indus River. One lies a few miles south of Kundal and the other near Bilot. According to the District Gazetteer of Mianwali: “ These forts are of great antiquity and interest. Their main features are an outer defensive wall, consisting of rough blocks of stone, some of great size, and various groups of buildings resembling small Hindu temples and more or less carved. These are built of a curiously honey-combed drab-coloured stone not to be found in the adjacent hills, which is said to have been brought by river all the way from Khushalgarh. The area of the forts is considerable and they could have held a fairly large garrison. The only legends attached to them relate that they were occupied by the last of the Hindu Rajas, Til and Bil; but all traces of rulers and ruled are now lost. ” Bilot Fort is the second fort situated next to the town of Bilot Sharif and about 55 km East of Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan. It was an ancient Hindu Fort with a famous temple inside its walls. The fort has disintegrated over time but the temple still stands. Images of Bilot Fort and the standing temple View of the Hindu Temples View of the Hindu Temples Closeup view of a temple Closeup view of a temple Some amount of restoration work has been done on the temple Some amount of restoration work has been done on the temple The walls of the temple are made of porous rock The walls of the temple are made of porous rock Fine work on the walls and ceilings Fine work on the walls and ceilings Stairs up the temple lead to an opening Stairs up the temple lead to an opening View from the upper floor of a temple View from the upper floor of a temple One of the well preserved temple rooms One of the well preserved temple rooms
