Madan Mahal, Jabalpur

Madan Mahal is a suburban area of Jabalpur famous for the historical Durgavati fort.

Situated atop a hill in Jabalpur city is a small but enchanting fort of the Rajgond rulers.

Rani Durgavati eventually died fighting the Mughals, and is hailed as a martyr in Indian history.

The stable, war rooms, small reservoir and main pleasure chamber of the rulers offer visitors much to see and admire.

A tunnel covering a long distance is said to be located somewhere around the precinct - a possible escape route and transportation artery of the Gonds.
