Ajaigarh or Ajaygarh is a town and a nagar panchayat in the Panna District of Madhya Pradesh state in central India.

The chief resided at the town of Nowgong, at the foot of the hill-fortress of Ajaigarh, from which the state took its name.

This fort, situated on a steep hill, towers more than 800 feet (240 m) above the eponymous township, and contains the ruins of several temples adorned with elaborately carved sculptures.

The state acceded to the Government of India on 1 January 1950; the ruling chief was granted a privy purse of Rs.

[citation needed] It stands alone on a hilltop in the district of Panna and is easily accessible from Khajuraho.
