Garh Panchkot

Garh Panchkot

Garh Panchkot is a historical fort complex and scenic hill area near Asansol in Purulia district, West Bengal, India. It is notable for its ruined fortifications, temples, and forested landscape at the foothills of the Panchet Hill range, reflecting the heritage of the Panchkot Raj. Garh Panchkot served as the capital of the Panchkot Raj, ruled by the Singh Deo dynasty, which flourished during the late medieval period. The fort complex included palaces, temples, and defensive walls. It was largely destroyed in the 18th century, reportedly during the Maratha (Bargi) invasions, leaving behind striking ruins that stand as testimony to its former prominence.
