Garhwa Fort

On December 18, 2024, one of the earliest known prashasti (eulogy) inscription found in India mentioning worship of King Rama during Ram Navami festival, was discovered here. It dates to Chaitra Shukla paksha Ekadashi, 1152 Vikram Samvat (11th day in Chaitra month, 1096 CE), in the reign of the Chandela king Kirtivarman (1060-1100 CE), whose minister Vatsaraja issued the edict. The ruined temple in the Garhwa Fort complex commemorates the site on the banks of the Yamuna River, where Rama, Lakshman, and Sita spent a night on their way to Chitrakuta, from where they proceed to crossing Ganges River at Shringverpur. ==Gallery==
