A part of this castle is partly carved out of bedrock. The fort houses the ancient city of the Bahamani dynasty along with its palaces, monuments and structures. Of all, the Rangin Mahal palace is a wonderful monument built in the 16th century by Ali Shah Barid. The main attraction of this Rangin Mahal are the wooden columns displaying ornate brackets and beams. There is also a walled garden, Lal Bagh, close to the Rangin Mahal with a central lobe-fringed pool.
Built in Rajput style, this fort is perched atop a hill 500 ft above ground level. It was built by the Kachwaha clan of Rajputs in the 10th century and was later occupied by other clans, the Mughals and finally the Scindias in the 19th century.
Today the Narwar fort stands in a dilapidated state but once stood second in magnificence to the Gwalior fort. The flat ceilings, fluted columns and multifoil arches are typical in construction. The internal walls are adorned with bright paint and glass beads.
Narwar is 122 km from Gwalior.
