Chaiturgarh Fort, Military fortification in Korba district, India
The stone fort stands at an elevation of 3060 feet on a hilltop, featuring three principal entrances named Menaka, Humkara, and Simhadwar.
Raja Prithvideva I constructed this fortification in the 10th century, and Mughal emperor Akbar captured it in 1571, maintaining control until 1628.
The fort complex contains a temple dedicated to Goddess Mahishasur Mardini, displaying a twelve-handed idol within its sacred chamber.
Located 51 kilometers from Katghora tehsil, visitors reach the fort via the Korba-Bilaspur road, with the site offering clear views across the region.
Five ancient ponds surround the fort's perimeter, with three retaining water throughout the year, supporting local wildlife populations.
