Both states boast a rich history of forts (durg\/<strong>\u0926\u0941\u0930\u094d\u0917<\/strong>). Forts, their ramparts (pracheer\/<strong>\u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u091a\u0940\u0930<\/strong>) and the history (itihaas\/<strong>\u0907\u0924\u093f\u0939\u093e\u0938<\/strong>) behind them appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

These forts are constructed in front courtyards (aangan\/<strong>\u0906\u0902\u0917\u0928<\/strong>) of homes, gardens, or community spaces with appropriate permissions in place. Children work in groups to undertake the fort-building task. Teams decide which fort they are going to build. Drawings (nakshe\/<strong>\u0928\u0915\u094d\u0936\u0947<\/strong>) are made, details (vivaran\/<strong>\u0935\u093f\u0935\u0930\u0923<\/strong>) discussed and materials (saamagri\/<strong>\u0938\u093e\u092e\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0940<\/strong>) transported to the site of the mud fort construction activity. In preparation for this event, many local stores in the area also sell ready-made ramparts and other elements of forts. While some children choose to create their own structure from scratch, some others might choose to build with ready-made sections and instead, focus on adding more depth and detail to their structures.<\/p>\n<p>Activities such as these not only teach children about the history of the region, but they also learn valuable skills like planning, collaboration and execution of projects.
