Asirgarh Fort
Asirgarh Fort is situated on Satpura Range, north from Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh, an area spread over 60 acres. Historians refer this fort as ‘Babe Deccan’- the “key to Deccan”.
Asirgarh Fort provided a stronghold for seizing southern region and Khandesh. It falls towards South India, a strategically important position encompassing valleys of Tapti & Narmada river.
Inside the fort, a mosque, palace & a Shiva temple that dates back to Mahabharata times, are present. Here, the locals believe in tales that Ashwthama was cursed to bear people’s misdeed on his own shoulders till the end of Kaliyuga.
