Fort
Amla
has an architecture similar to the forts of Mewar in Rajasthan. The fort
is located on the outer western side of the village and has a panoramic
view of the fields in the west. On the eastern and southern sides the
fort is flanked by the village and has a clear view of the village chowk
and the activities therein.
The founders of Amla Riyasat are direct descendents of Bappa Rawal of
Udaipur, who in those days of Mughal atrocities and suppression bravely
opposed the then Badshah and refused to accede to their demands. Many
rulers bowed to the Mughals, but Bappa Rawal's family was the only one,
which remained untouched. They were lauded for their bravery with which
they supported and upheld the Hindu religion. The learned from Kashi,
with the agreement of the rest of country, gave the lineage the title of
“Hindu Suraj”. Bappa Rawal’s 51st descendent was Maharana Pratap, who
was known for his opposition of the Mughal rulers and whose exploits are
also well chronicled in history. Maharana Pratap’s 5th generation was
Maharana Raj Singhji who was born in 1630 AD and who ascended the throne
in 1653 AD.
