Ramgad

Ramgarh lies in the forested country east of Mandla, among the upper valleys and hills of Gondwana. The surrounding region formed part of the kingdom of Garha-Mandla, whose Gond rulers held a chain of strongholds across central India. The Narmada rises farther east at Amarkantak and runs west through this upland country. In the eighteenth century the authority of the Garha-Mandla dynasty gave way to Maratha power.
