Alampur is a town and a nagar panchayat in Bhind district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

No one knows about the origin of the Alampur Fortress but we can make supposition according to its architecture that this must have been built around the 14-15th century.

The pargana was formed in 1766 when Malhar Rao Holkar, the founder of the house of Indore, died suddenly at the village of Alampur.

To provide for the upkeep of his last resting place, 27 villages were obtained from the neighbouring chiefs of Gwalior, Datia, Jalaun, and Jhansi, and their revenues devoted to this purpose.

The Rajput chiefs, from whom the villages were probably taken by force, were long opposed to the erection of the dead Maharaja's cenotaph, and destroyed it several times; finally, however, with the support of Sindhia the work was finished.

The Maratha style chhatri represents a blend of shikhar dome and arch, on which Kalash has been made.

Chatri is built on a 6-foot-high scaffold with a sanctorum in the middle and encompass a path around it founded on the pillars.

Sanctorium remain above the main peak which is oval in shape amra vase (आम्र कलश) at its top.

The wall on the left side of the canopy has statues of the ruling family with five panels of such.

No one knows about the origin of the Alampur Fortress but one can make supposition according to its architecture that it must have been built around the 14-15th century.

Currently a trust office is running at the second Building which is in good condition; possibly this was the residence of the governor of the province.
