A trench has been built surrounding the fort and is now covered with vegetation. A part of the trench opposite the entrance has been filled to make a road in-way. The two bastions alongside the entrance have been refurbished. There are porches built for gate keepers inside the fort entrance and also steps to access the top of the entrance door. The fort has two fortification walls. The outer wall has 18 bastions while the inner one has 8 bastions. The 12 ft base of fortified walls and bastions are built of black rock and the upper remaining part is made of bricks.
There are narrow windows and openings in the bastion and fortified wall. The wall opposite the entrance has rooms with four doors. Earlier they were used to keep horses it is being said. As we enter the citadel from the inner fortified wall there is a dense vegetation cover and many structural remains have been hidden in here. Moving straight from the entrance there is another door beyond which there is step well. Besides this well there is a small water tank and a tower pot meant to plant Holy Basil. Further to the well in the outer fortified wall there is a secret doorway. The part of step well has been protected by building wall around it.
