Ambagarh

Ambagarh lies in the forested country southwest of the Chhattisgarh plain. The surrounding lands were once associated with the Gond kingdom of Chanda and included the estates of Ambagarh, Koracha and Panabaras. Local chiefs held these wooded territories on the border between the Chanda country and the plains around Durg. Their estates preserve the memory of a regional political landscape in which Gond kings and subordinate landholders shared authority across a wide interior.
