Deogarh Fort, Historic fort in Deogarh, India

The stone and brick fortress extends across a hilltop at 650 meters elevation, featuring more than 30 bastions and a single entrance gate.

The Gond Dynasty established this military stronghold in the 15th century, which later transferred to Mughal control until 1700, followed by Maratha rule.

The fort contains 100 chambers decorated with detailed paintings on the walls, pillars, and balconies, representing the artistic traditions of central India.

Located 42 kilometers from Chhindwara district headquarters, the fort requires a journey of 325 kilometers from Bhopal or 265 kilometers from Jabalpur.

An underground passage connects the fortress to Nagpur, providing a strategic escape route through the densely forested surroundings during military conflicts.
