Some Historical facts about the Fort:
Gwalior Fort is an architectural marvel situated on top of a hill in Madhya Pradesh and has its own place among the best fortresses of India.

The fort is surrounded by concrete walls of sandstone, has three beautiful temples, six palaces and many water tanks inside. The present-day Gwalior Fort was built by Man Singh Tomar in 15th century CE, but the locals has a different history to say. They say the fort was built in 3 CE by a local King called Suraj Sen. According to folklore, a saint named Gwalipa came wandering to the fort and met the king, who was suffering from leprosy. When Gwalipa offered him some water from a sacred pond (now called Suraj Kund and located within the fort complex), he immediately became healthy again. As a thankful gesture to the saint, the king named the fort and the town after him. The saint then gave the king the title of ‘Pal’ (protector) and told him that as long as he and his family continue to bear this title, the fort would remain in their possession. Following this, 83 successors of Suraj Sen controlled the fort. But the 84th king, Tej Karan, did not bear the title and lost the fort. (Source - Internet)
