Palamu Fort, Medieval fortress in Satbarwa block, India
The fortress features multiple defense towers, thick stone walls, and three entrance gates spread across a 3-square-kilometer fortified complex.
The Chero dynasty ruler Medini Ray constructed the original fortress in 1673 as a strategic military outpost in the Jharkhand region.
Local tribal communities maintain traditional connections to the fortress grounds, incorporating the ancient structure into their seasonal ceremonies and rituals.
