About Narsinghpur

About

Narsinghpur is a city in Madhya Pradesh in central India. It comes under the Jabalpur division. 


Narsinghpur has a large temple dedicated to Lord Narsingh, constructed by Jat Sardars in the 18th century. The Khirwar clan of Jats came from Brij and founded Narsinghpur, where they ruled for many years. Khirwars of Narsinghpur were followers of Narasimha, and so constructed two temples dedicated to Narasimha Avatar.

In 18 century the ruler of Narsinghpur Thakur Ji was killed by British rulers and the fort of Narsinghpur was totally destroyed. There are a number of sites of interest to archaeologists in the area, as the area has been inhabited since the second century AD, according to historical documents from that time. Narsinghpur has a number of sacred sites, including a nearby cave associated with Adi Guru Shankracharya's place of meditations and studies.
