Featuring ornately carved lattice work friezes and intricate Jharokas, the Fort has exquisite courtyards, towers, stables, passages, stairways, secret pavilions and panoramic roof tops.

It was in 1948 that Chanwa was granted in "Jagir" to Maharaja Dalip Singh, the youngest son of the former Maharaja Umaid Singh. Taking the cue from other successful restorations, it was successfully restored in 1992 by Maharaja Dalip Singh, the 24th generation of direct descent from Rao Jodha, ruler and founder of Jodhpur.
