Melghat is famous for its forest and tiger reserve. On the periphery of this jungle lie two strongholds of history. Today also forts of Gawilgad and Narnala stand tall surrounded by jungle. About Gawilgad fort: Gawilgad (also Gawilgarh or Gawilgad) was a well-fortified mountain stronghold of the Maratha Empire north of the Deccan Plateau, in the vicinity of Melghat Tiger Reserve, Amravati District, Maharashtra. It was successfully assaulted by an Anglo-Indian force commanded by Arthur Wellesley on 15 December 1803 during the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The campaign to take Gawilghur forms the background of the novel Sharpe's Fortress by Bernard Cornwell, the third in a series of books covering the hero's time in the British army in India during the Napoleonic era. The fort has several inscriptions in Persian recording the date of building of each of its seven gates. It has two water tanks (Devtalav and Khantalav), which would have been the main water source in case the fort was besieged. Within the fort the ruins of a mosque are the most conspicuous. It stands at the highest point in the inner fort and is built in the Pathan style of architecture. The mosque has a square canopy with intricate stone lattice work and a seven arched façade. The mosque originally had two minarets, only one of which is intact today. About Narnala fort: Narnala, also known as "Shahnur Fort", is a hill fortress in Satpuda Mountain range in Akot Taluka of Akola district Vidarbh Maharashtra, India, named after the Rajput Ruler Narnala Singh. The fort was first established in 10 century A.D. by Gond Kings. This fort has altitude of 3000 feet. In the 15th Century it was occupied and rebuilt by the Mughals, becoming one of Berar Subah's thirteen Sarkar. It consists of three small forts: Zafarabad (or Jafarabad) fort on the east, Narnala in the centre and Teliagarh to the west. The lake within the centre of the complex is said to possess healing properties and according to legend contained the philosopher's stone, though no stone was found when the lake dried up in the drought and Indian famine of 1899-1900. Occupied since at least the Khalji dynasty, the fort is well known for the Muslim saint Hazrat Burhanuddin "Bagh Sawar Wali", and it is said that many white tigers were seen with him at that time. Adli Beg or Atalu Beg carved many Arabic inscriptions into the fort and the Kadak Bijli cannon. It is also the birthplace of the Mughal Aurangzeb's great grandson. read more read less

Give your eyes a treat to the beautiful amalgamation of the different coloured kites that are flying high in the placidly filled sky of the ‘Pink City’ of India. Makar Sankranti is the official ending to the winter season and the beginning of the warm and hot summer. Back in the old times, people spent their days by soaking the rays of the sun in order to avoid infections, germs, and so on. Eventually, on this particular day, people are getting engaged in the recreational activity of flying kites. Slowly, this tradition evolved so much that the day was marked by kite flying tournaments.
