Ghansor

Ghansor lies in the forested Satpura country south of the Narmada valley. It was among the districts associated with the Gond kingdom of Garha-Mandla, whose kings ruled a territory of forts and wooded hills. The region’s allegiance changed as neighbouring Gond rulers intervened in one another’s affairs: Narendra Shah of Mandla ceded Ghansor and other districts to Bakht Buland Shah of Deogarh in return for help against rebellious Pathan holders of land in his kingdom.
