Bhopal: The history of the Gondwana kingdom is considered to have a different significance and the stories of the valor of its heroine queen Durgavati seem to be unique models of female power. The fort of Rani Durgavati in Singourgarh of Singrampur in Damoh district is still seen telling stories of her valor. Rani Durgavati was the only child of King Kirtisingh Chandel of Kalinjar. She was born on the day of Durgashtami in 1524 in Kalinjar fort of Banda district of present Uttar Pradesh, hence she was named Durgavati. The queen's dedication to her kingdom was such that while fighting the Mughals, the queen sacrificed her life.

This place was the capital of Rani Durgavati. Even after the age of the fort which is several hundred years, its walls are still standing firmly. The mystery of Rani Mahal, elephant doors, the reservoir inside the fort for bathing and the secret paths built in the hills of the fort remains a puzzle even today. At some distance from the main elephant gate of the fort is the Singaurgarh reservoir. Even today, there is water for twelve months. Rani Durgavati was born into a Rajput family. Hearing tales of her valor, Sangram Shah Madavi, then king of the Gondwana Empire, got her married to his son Dalpat Shah Madavi. Dalpat Shah died after 4 years of marriage. Rani Durgavati's son Narayan was only three years old.

Rani Durgavati had very few soldiers at that time. She led a front along the Narai Nallah near Jabalpur and herself led the war in disguise. The Mughals suffered heavy losses in the war. On 24 June 1564, the Mughal army again attacked. The queen showed her might by sending son Narayan to a safe place. She sacrificed herself in view of the possible defeat. On this place called Barela on Mandla Road, there is a tomb of the queen. The state of Gondwana is found in Abul Fazl's Akbarnama. Barela is located on Mandla Road. Rani's tomb remains there. People of Gond tribe go there and pay homage to the queen. The university in Jabalpur has also been named after Rani Durgavati.
