Sarangpur

Sarangpur stands on the Kali Sindh River in Malwa. It is said to have been founded by Shaikh Sarang, an amir of Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq. The town was the scene of conflict between the rulers of Malwa and their neighbours: Rana Kumbha of Mewar defeated Mahmud Khalji there and took the sultan prisoner. Later Baz Bahadur, the ruler of Malwa, was defeated at Sarangpur by the forces of the Mughal emperor Akbar.
