Bandhavgarh Fort
The Fort No records remain
to show when Bandhavgarh Fort was constructed.
It is thought, however, to be some 2,000 years
old, and there are references to it in the ancient
books, the Narad-Panch Ratra and the Siva Purana.
Various dynasties have ruled this fort: for
example, the Maghas from the 1st century AD,
the Vakatakas from the 3rd century; the Sengars
from the 5th century and the Kalchuris from
the 10th century. In the 13th century AD, the
Baghels took over, ruling from Bandhavgarh until
1617, when Maharajah Vikramaditya Singh moved
his capital to Rewa. The last inhabitants deserted
the fort in 1935.
