Palamu Forts

The Palamu Forts (Hindi: पलामु किला ) are two ruined forts located around 20 kilometres (12 mi) south east of the city of Daltonganj in the Indian state of Jharkhand. These are two large forts located deep in the forests of Aurangabad on Sher Shah Suri path near Daltonganj. The original fort in the plains and the other on an adjoining hill are attributed to the Vanvasi kings of a Chero dynasty. The fort in the plains had defences on three sides and three main gates. The fort was constructed by Raja Medini Ray. The architecture is Islamic in style, which reflects Daud Khan’s conquest.
