Here
lived Sansar Chand II who is known
more as the patron of miniature Pahari
paintings than the warrior king who
fought battles. The fortified palace
of Tira that overlooks the town of
Sujanpur is the remnant of history.
The ‘Barahdari Hall’ where
Sansar Chand used to hold court, the
temple of chamunda Devi within the
fort all is there in shape or out of
it. The Gauri Shankar temple nearby
has some exquisite frescos that cover
the walls and ceilings.
Narbadeshwar temple, a splendid structure, was got built in 1802 by Sansar Chand’s
wife Prasanna Devi.Paintings showing the themes of love between Radha and Krishna
and Shiv and Parvati have been drawn here with artistic fingers. Sansar Chand
got built Murli Manohar temple near the chowgan in memory of his mother. Other
temples are the ones dedicated to Lord Ganesh and Lakshmi Narayan.
