105 kms from the Khajuraho in Uttar Pradesh, India situated on an 800 feet (244 meter) high hill top is the Kalinjar Fort. It is believed that the fort was built by the Chandela king Kedar Burman in the 9th century CE. Ruled by various Hindu dynasties, the Kalinjar Fort later went into the hands of Muslims. In 1812 it fell into the hands of troops of the British East India Company.
