JABALPUR
Attractions : Madan Mahal Fort, Rani Durgavati Memorial and Museum
Pleasure resort and capital of the Gond kings during the

Marathas held sway over Jabalpur until 1817, when the British wrested it
from them and left their impression on the spacious cantonment with its
colonial residences and barracks. Today Jabalpur is an important
administrative centre, abustle with commercial activity.
