Once
the capital of the princely state of Baghal, Arki has witnessed a good
measure of turbulence in this area. Arki became the stronghold of an
invading force of Gurkhas during the 'Gurkha Wars' that came to an end in
1815-16.
About 1850, Raja Kishen Chand had the fort decorated with fine murals
executed in the Pahari style. Here is a place packed with history and
adomed with fine art.
