The fort was constructed in 1116 by the great Gond ruler named Raja Madan Singh. This fort was said to be the pleasure palace of tenth Gond King Madan Singh. He was one of the sons of Rani Durgawati.
There is a watchtower that is still found on this fort. The rulers used to keep a good watch upon the attackers or enemies from this tower. It is quite high and it could easily trace the movement of the attackers from a distance.

And look at that - someone can still live in it - I always wonder, how they built these with so big stones and materials that its still in tact till now. We have seen many examples of buildings collapsing which are not even 100 years old..
We must thanks the ASI team for thre maintenance so far. That's true the construction always amazes everyone, especially when such construction is not possible during modern time...
