Laling

Laling's hill fort stood on the commercial road between Surat and Burhanpur and was an important stronghold of the Faruqi rulers of Khandesh. Malik Raja granted it to his eldest son, suggesting its prominence among his forts. In 1437 a Bahmani general besieged Nasir Khan and his son Miran Adil Khan at Laling, until an army from Gujarat came to their relief. Mughal troops later passed through the region on campaigns into the Deccan.
