Nawagarh

Nawagarh lies in the Maikal hills near Amarkantak, where the Narmada rises. The river leaves its sacred source and descends over the Kapildhara falls. Amarkantak’s temples include buildings raised under the Kalachuri rulers Gangeyadeva and Karna in the eleventh century. Their stone shrines stand near the pool honoured as the Narmada’s birthplace.
