Alwar fort

Bala fort was originally constructed by Nikumbh Rajputs who were one of ancient rulers in Rajasthan and belongs to suryavanshi clan.

Nikumbh Rajputs and their successors moved to the southwestern part of India through Baroda and settled over eastern Khandesh during 15th century onwards due to the Mughals as the Mughal Empire was expanding in and around western India which was due to its close proximity to the capital of Delhi at that time.

Major rivers like Narmada, Tapi, Girna basins were suitable for the Nikumbh Rajput warriors to settle down.

As Rajputs found it as a suitable place for their successors due to it having ample of water and land for cultivation.

Kachwaha Rajputs latter settled in bank and basins of Girna river of today's khandesh in Warkheda and Umberkheda.
