Narwar Fort is situated atop a hill, at Narwar^[1] in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, about 500 feet above ground level spread over an area of 8 km², which stands on a steep scarp of the Vindhya Range. Kachwaha Rajputs are said to have built (or rebuilt) the fort when they occupied Narwar in the 10th century. Kachwaha Rajput, Pratihara Rajput, and Tomara Rajputs held Narwar successively from 12th century onwards, until its capture by the Malwa Sultanate in the 14th century. It was conquered by the Jhala chiefs in the early 15th century and held it as a Jagir. It later became princely state under British Raj.
