The Jit Gadhi (Nepali: जितगढी; historically known as Butwal Gadhi) is a fortinButwal, Lumbini Province, Nepal.[1][2] It was built by the Sen dynasty.[3]

The fort was used during the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–1816) where Colonel Ujir Singh Thapa led Nepal's victory in the Battle of Jitgadhi against the East India Company.[1]

In 2019, the Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City revealed the life-size statue of Ujir Singh Thapa near the fort citing the historic significance.[4] In 2021, a war museum was inaugurated to commemorate the Battle of Jit Gadhi.[5][6]
