Narwar Fort

Narwar Fort is situated atop a hill, at Narwar in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, about 500 feet above ground level spread over an area of 8 km², which stands on a steep scarp of the Vindhya Range. Kachwaha Rajputs are said to have built (or rebuilt) the fort when they occupied Narwar in the 10th century. Kachwaha, Parihara, and Tomara Rajputs held Narwar successively from 12th century onwards, until its capture by the Mughals in the 16th century. Narwar Fort, located just east of the river Kali Sindh, is a remnant of the resplendent past of India. 42 km outside of Shivpuri, the fort is a magnificent reminder of the royal boundaries and the near constant wars for territory expansions.

 The town is of historical significance and was known as Nalapura till the 12th century.

Raja Nala, after whom the town was named, finds mention in the Epic Mahabharata in relation to Damayanti and their love saga. The Narwar Fort sits atop a hill at an elevation of 500 ft above sea level. Spread over 8 sq km, the fort is expansive and speaks of an affluent past and a strong Kingdom.

Although time and nature had their say over the fort, the architecture and the sheer length of the fort are astounding. The Rajput influence in the architecture of the fort is evident in the flat ceilings and the fluted columns.

Narwar fort is very big and beautiful.
