Qila Mubarak, is a historical monument in the heart of the city of Bathinda in Punjab, India.

[2] The bricks of the fort date back to the Kushana period when emperor Kanishka ruled over Northern India/Bactria.

[3] Qila Mubarak in latter part of the 10th Century was under the rule of Jayapala, a ruler of the Hindu Shahi dynasty.

The fort was constructed by the king so that Huns could not invade the kingdom of Emperor Kanishka[citation needed].

Bhatinda appears in the works of the historians from early Muhammadan period as Batrinda, often incorrectly converted into Tabarhind.
