History[edit]

Nagvanshi ruler Bhim Karn shifted his capital to Khukhragarh in the 12th century after defeating RakselofSurguja.[1] In 1585, during the reign of Madhu Singh, the Mughals invaded under Akbar's general Shahbaz Khan Kamboh.[2][3][4] It is said that king Durjan Shah shifted his capital from Khukhragarh to Navratangarh.[5]

Archaeology[edit]

In 2009, the archaeological department has excavated the remains of the Nagvanshi dynasty's fort dating back to 12th century AD. Archaeologists have found an ancient temple complex, coins and pottery.[1]
