Many archaeological monuments / sites are located in and around the fort, few of them are namely- Man Mandir Palace, Vikram Mandir, Karan Mahal, Johar Kund, Bhim Kund, Sas-Bahu Ka Mandir, Suraj Kund, Teli Ka Mandir, Urwahi Group, Trishala Giri, Ek Pathar Ki Bawari, Gujari Mahal, Girnar and Siddhanchal.
Global positions of the said sites are recorded by using the modern technology of the recent high-tech world. GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite based navigation system, which provides exact location of any archaeological site present on the earth, in the form of geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) with elevation (height) from MSL (Mean Sea Level). On the basis of geographic coordinate data, the global position of the archaeological site can be shown on the globe. More over the said data can be used in GIS (Geographic Information System) for making a site map of our choice.
In the remote sensing community, The GPS has been recognized as an accurate, fast and cost effecting method for collecting the geographic coordinate, which can be used in surveying and GIS applications, normally it take months by using conventional methods, by using GPS techniques work can be done in a few days.
