The most imposing building in this town is its small fortress which looms over the well laid out township on its west side. Nawal Singh, the Raja of Sujawas, conquered the fort in the early 17th century after Kan Singh dudu besieged the prosperous town. The fort is built upon scattered pieces of huge rocks.
