The Derawar Fort is a large square fortress in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan. The fortress's forty bastions can be seen from a distance in the Cholistan Desert. The walls, which are up to 30 m high, have a circumference of 1500 m. The fortress was built by Rai Jajja Bhatti, a Rajput ruler of the Bhatti clan. It was built in the 9th century as a tribute to Rawal Deoraj Bhatti, a Rajput king from the area around Jaisalmer and Bahawalpur. The fortress was originally called DeraRawal and later DeraRawar, from which the current name Derawar derived. In the 18th century, the Muslim Nawabs of Bahawalpur took over the fortress from the Shahotra tribe. Although historically significant, it is a symbol of the Cholistan Desert.
