Asirgarh Fort, Monument of National Importance in Burhanpur district, India.

The stone fortress stretches across 60 acres atop a hill in the Satpura Range, commanding views over the Narmada and Tapti river valleys.

The fort changed hands multiple times, from its construction by King Asa Ahir through Faruqi Dynasty, Mughals, Marathas, and British control until 1819.

The complex contains the Gupteshwar Mahadev Mandir temple, dedicated to Shiva, and the Asir Masjid mosque, representing different religious traditions.

The fortress remains accessible through a trek to the summit, with winter months providing the most suitable conditions for exploring the structures.

Three artificial water reservoirs within the fort walls maintained continuous water supply for inhabitants during extended periods of conflict.
