The Ranthambore Fort is situated in which district of Rajasthan?

Explanation

Ranthambore Fort belongs to Sawai Madhopur, not to Bundi, Tonk or Kota. The Rajasthan Tourism page for Ranthambore Fort identifies the site with Sawai Madhopur and notes that the fort is about half an hour's drive from Sawai Madhopur town. Its historical importance is why the location is often asked in RAS: the fort is described as a Chauhan stronghold, built in 944 AD, and valued for its strategic position. The same official account links it with sieges and battles, including Rao Hamir's 1301 war against Alauddin Khilji. The fort precincts also contain major attractions, including the Lord Ganesha temple, which helps make Ranthambore a recurring Rajasthan history and culture marker.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Bundi is associated here with Taragarh Fort, whereas Ranthambore Fort is identified with Sawai Madhopur.
• (B) Tonk does not locate Ranthambore Fort; the cited official page places the fort with Sawai Madhopur.
• (C) Kota has different forts, while Ranthambore Fort is the Sawai Madhopur site named in the official tourism source.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's historical forts and their district locations. RAS repeats such questions because forts connect geography with dynastic history, battles and cultural sites.
