It was more of a manned post on vigil for invaders now enveloped in shroud of history. The fort dates back to 11th century AD. The fort is well associated with [[Rani Durgavati]] the Gond Queen and her son Veer Narayan. [[Rani Durgavati]] eventually died fighting the mughals and is hailed as a martyr in Indian history. She also built numerous temples and tanks scattered around [[Jabalpur]] chiefly around her Garha principality.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jabalpur|url=https://www.mptourism.com/destination-jabalpur.php|access-date=2021-05-24|website=www.mptourism.com}}</ref>

There are many myths floating about the fort of the Gonds. It is said to harbor gold bricks and Gond treasures hidden somewhere in it in accessible underground folds.
