Bandhavgarh Fortress is another local attraction. According to legend, the god Rama presented this fortress to his younger brother Lakshmana. In the local dialect, the word "bandhav" means "brother", and "gar" means "fortress", hence the name of the fortress was born or vice versa. According to archaeological evidence, this region dates back two thousand years. We strongly recommend that you visit the local caves with cave paintings and inscriptions.
