Singorgarh fort Damoh:History
Singorgarh Fort is situated in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh state in Central India. It is a hill-fort of Garha Kingdom which is spread over hills in a forested area. It was the safest fort among 52 Garha of Emperor Sangram Shah. The Queen Durgavati was married to the King Dalpatshah in this palace. In addition to Chouragarh, Singorgarh was also the capital of Emperor Sangram Shah. The empire of the Emperor Sangram Shah was so large and it was spread to 52 Garhas. The prince Dalpatshah could live on any palace. But, Singorgarh was his favorite palace to stay. They spend some times of a year in Singorgarh fort. At present, fort is in a ruined condition with no caretaker. It is located inside forest area and there is no proper road to reach the site. By looking at current ruined site, one can realize that during its peak days, thousands of people were living here and fort was spread over large area and many watch towers are still visible in this area. There is pond also in hill-top which was basically for water arrangement. During last war of Garha Kingdom dynasty, under rule of Rani Durgavati, fort received major blow of first attack in June-1564. During those days, Rani Durgavati was staying in same Singorgarh Fort and later shifted to Chouragarh fort of Narsinghpur.
This fort is built on a hill which is not easily reachable. Ruhillakhan invaded to this fort but couldn’t conquer it. Due to its geographical structure, it was too difficult to attack here.
