Legends
As per
legend, Lord Rama along with his brother and Lakshman stayed at this place
while on his way to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, the demon king of Lanka.
During his stay, Lord Rama asked Nar and Neel to build a fort at this place in
order to keep an eye on Lanka as the place is situated on the highest hill in
Central India. Then, he handed over the fort to his younger brother, Lakshmana to
keep watch on Lanka and the surrounding region. As Lord Rama gave this fort as
gift to his brother Lakshmana, the fort came to be called Bandhavgarh (Bandhava
means brotherhood and Garh means fort). This incident is mentioned in the Narada
Pancharatna and Shiv Samhita Purana Gatha.
