Bandhavgarh Fort is an ancient fort located within the Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India. Perched atop the Vindhya hills, the fort is believed to be more than 2000 years old and is sprinkled with historical artifacts such as caves, sculptures, and inscriptions. The fort holds a significant place in Indian mythology and history; it is said that Lord Rama gifted this fort to his brother Lakshmana, and hence it is called 'Bandhav' (brother) and 'Garh' (fort): ‘The Fort of the Brother’. Today, it is a unique blend of nature and history, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding forest and wildlife. The National Park is renowned for its high density of the Royal Bengal Tiger population, and the fort provides an excellent vantage point for birdwatching and exploring the diverse flora and fauna of the region. Although the fort is in ruins, its charm lies in its historical mystique and the panoramic landscape it offers.
