History

Nagvanshi ruler Bhim Karn shifted his capital to Khukhragarh in the 12th century after defeating Raksel of Surguja.[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

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]
