Shankargah

Shankargarh, also called Kasauta, lies southwest of Prayag near the Vindhyan uplands. The local rajas traced their descent from the Baghel rulers of Rewa. Nearby Garhwa contains remains of temples and inscriptions from the Gupta age, together with a carved image of Vishnu's ten incarnations. Around 1750 Vishwanath Singh Deo of Rewa fortified the old temple ruins with a square enclosure and parapets, creating the site known as Garhwa Fort.
