Zorawar Fort is a fort in Leh, Ladakh, India. It was built in 1836 for a military general, Zorawar Singh Kahluria who was known for his struggle against the Chinese rulers over Ladakh. He was an expert in mountain warfare and all the credit goes to Zorawar Singh that Ladakh became a part of India after its independence in 1947. The fort once kept the wealth of the rulers of the Dogra dynasty . There is a museum at the fort which currently preserves treasures of the rulers along with coins and postage stamps. The fort is made of a local type of grey clay, sun-dried bricks, stones and wooden frames. The fort may not be very impressive today because it was abandoned and neglected for a long time. The Zorawar Fort was renovated for restoration in 2006. The fort has now been taken over by the Indian Army and it stands as a salute to the Ladakhi and Dogra warriors . .
