Chauragarh Fort, Katni, Madhya Pradesh India

Situated on a peak of Satpura range, this fort has been constructed by using big and small stone blocks and lime and mud mortar, of which the remains of fortification as well as three entrances can be seen even today. The Rewa Kund and ancient pyramidal temple housing a broken sculpture of Narsingh belongs to the Kalchuri period.

This fort can be attributed to the Gond rulers of 16 century A.D. In the ruins inside the fort stand ranital, barrack for keeping the prisoner, amphitheater and the palace of Gond king Premnarain. In 1818, after the downfall of Gond rulers, the British damaged the fort. There are also the remains of the buildings constructed during the Maratha period which stand in between the ranital and king's palace. This was a very important fort during the Reign of Gonds and Marathas.
