    History

    Kamru Fort served as the initial capital of the Bushahr kingdom before it was moved to Rampur. The fort's construction is attributed to the rulers of the Bushahr dynasty, who held sway over the region for centuries. It witnessed numerous historical events and served as a stronghold against invaders. The Kamakhya Devi Temple within the fort holds immense religious significance, with locals believing the idol was brought from Assam. Over time, the fort has undergone several renovations and modifications, reflecting the changing architectural styles and influences. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's rich past and the enduring legacy of the Bushahr rulers.
