Bandhavgarh Fort: No records remain to show wen Bandhavgarh fort was
constructed. It is thought, however, to be some 2,000 years old, and there are
references to it in the ancient books, the Narad-Panch Ratra and the Siva Purana.
Various dynasties have ruled the fort: for example, the Maghas from the 1st
century A.D.. the Vakatakas from the 3rd century; the Sengars from the 5th century
and the kalachuris from the 10th century. In the 13 century A.D., the Baghels
took over, ruling from Bandhavgarh until 1617, when Maharajah Vikramditya Singh
moved his capital to Rewa. The last inhabitants deserted the fort in 1935.
Bandhavgarh National Park:
A wildlife retreat, where history and nature meet, Bandhavgarh is not too far
away from Kanha. Set amidst the Vindhyan ranges, the Park has a series of ridges
running through it. Initially just 105.40 sq. km. in area, Bandhavgarh with
25 resident tigers, was noted for its high density tiger population. Today,
it has been extended to an area of 437 sq. km.
