Narwar

Narwar lies beneath a hill fort overlooking the plains south of Gwalior. The Kachhwaha Rajputs regarded it as an ancestral home, and the stronghold passed through the hands of several Rajput houses and the rulers of Delhi. Its walls and successive gateways follow the steep hill, protecting palaces and other buildings on the summit. In the early nineteenth century Narwar came under the Scindia rulers of Gwalior, who added to the fort’s defences.
