History
Preservation
By the turn of the century[vague], Moj Garh Fort had collapsed, and only its crumbled structure remains.[1] The Desert Rangers have since taken over the fort and initiated preservation and rehabilitation efforts.[1]
The exterior and interior facing bricks of the fortification wall are missing in several places, exposing the underlying mud-brick pit.[3] Despite the damage, about half of the relics have survived, with the exterior wall and interior structure still prominently visible.[4]
