Bijnot

Bijnot, also called Winjhrot, was a fort in the Cholistan desert. It formed part of a chain of strongholds spread across the arid country around the old course of the Hakra River, alongside forts such as Derawar and Islamgarh. Local traditions attributed its foundation to Raja Wanjho or Bija Bhati, while another named Tunno, an ancestor of the founder of Derawar. The same traditions recalled its destruction by Shahab al-Din Ghori in the twelfth century.
