Consider two historic forts in India – Neemrana Fort in Rajasthan and Qila Mubarak in Patiala, Punjab. Both have rich histories and architectural significance. Yet, their current condition could not be more different. Neemrana Fort, a 15th-century structure, was once in ruins. But after it was taken over by a private group in the 1990s, it was restored and developed into a heritage hotel.
