Cultural Heritage
The late 18th century witnessed Sujanpur Fort's transformation into a pivotal cultural and administrative hub under Raja Sansar Chand, transcending its initial military design. It became the celebrated seat of the Katoch dynasty, where the famed Kangra school of miniature painting reached its zenith, attracting master artists whose exquisite works adorned royal collections and chronicled the era. Sansar Chand’s vision extended to architectural embellishments, commissioning the elegant Baradari (a twelve-doored pavilion) and a grand Mahal (palace) within the fort's precincts, alongside significant temples like Narbadeshwar and Gauri Shankar, solidifying Sujanpur Tira's stature as a vibrant center of Pahari arts and governance. However, this period of flourishing was abruptly challenged by the formidable Gurkha invasion in the early 19th century. Under the command of Amar Singh Thapa, Gurkha forces besieged and eventually occupied Sujanpur Fort around 1805-1809, marking a tumultuous chapter for the Katoch kingdom. This strategic capture severely destabilized Sansar Chand's authority, compelling him to seek assistance from Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The subsequent intervention led to the Treaty of Jawalamukhi, a watershed moment that saw the cession of Kangra Fort to the Sikhs and irrevocably altered the geopolitical landscape of the Western Himalayas, diminishing Sujanpur's imperial ambitions.
