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 the fort when they occupied Narwar in the 10th century. Kachwaha Rajput, Pratihara Rajput, and Tomara Rajputs held Narwar successively from 12th century onwards, until its capture by the Malwa Sultanate in the 14th century, and later served as feudal state till 1808. The fort's layout spans nearly 8 km² and features a network of palaces, courtyards, and religious structures, many of which showcase Rajput and Mughal architectural influences. Among its notable features is the Chhip Mahal, which incorporates reused temple pillars and remains a symbol of layered historical legacies.
