Geography & terrain

Narsinghgarh lies in the Rajgarh district of Madhya Pradesh, 100 km from Bhopal and 35 km from Rajgarh — the palace town of the region, its Rajmahal, the lake and the quiet streets set on the Malwa's plains.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1681 Rajput founding — the town founded by the Parmar Rajputs and the seat of the Narsinghgarh state of the 18th century, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Bhopal circuit and the home of the 19th-century Rajmahal palace and the Narsinghgarh fort; the town's history of the Holkar ties and the 1914 state palace and the lake's edges, gives Narsinghgarh its palace-town character.
