Raisen

Raisen Fort, a hill fort dating to around 1200 CE, gives this Madhya Pradesh town both its name and its main draw — the name itself likely derives from words meaning "royal residence." The fort complex contains temples, palaces, a large reservoir, and wells, and also houses a temple and mosque within the same enclosure. The town is also known for the dargah of Hazrat Pir Fatehullah Shah Baba, and sits within reach of the Sanchi Stupa and other UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
