Covered earlier here

This is among the most ancient fortifications in India. Various dynasties have ruled the fort: The Mauryans from 3rd century BC, Vakataka rulers from 3rd century to 5th century the Sengars from 5th century and the Kalachuris from 10th century. In the 13th century, the Baghels took over, ruling from Bandhavgarh until 1617, when Maharaja Vikramaditya Singh moved his capital to Rewa. The last inhabitants deserted the fort in 1935.

Dear Marathaman
Your work is undoubtedly exemplary.. I feel that the audience reach for your work is still a bit limited because it is not the first thing which comes up on googling.. Can you make a page on facebook and put these pics in districtwise albums.. I am sure many photography enthusiasts there would love to enrich those albums further with their lens..
Cheers
A fan

The Indian nature is gorgeous, but the architecture, especially the temples.. horrible, gloomy, macabre.
