Palamu Fort ( Betla / Medininagar ) - History details

Deep inside Betla National Park (Latehar) stand the twin Palamu Forts—the lower plains fort and the hill fort—expanded by the Chero ruler Raja Medini Ray (17th c.). Overlooking the Auranga River, the ruins sit ~20 km from Medininagar (Daltonganj) and are often toured with Betla’s safari circuits. Masonry gateways and bastions still frame jungle panoramas.
