  Rani Durgavati Fort, also known as Madan Mahal fort, is World's Smallest Fort. This three room 1680 square feet fort is based over a single granite rock in south west of the Jabalpur city and can be seen from most of the part of the modern Jabalpur city.   Rani Durgavati fort is situated on a small hill at the height of 515 meters, this 900 years old golden heritage of GOND ruler was built by Raja Madan Singh, 10th king of GOND rein and son of martyr queen Rani Durgavati - she sacrificed her life fighting with mughals. Madan Mahal fort was built in 1116 CE and was used as a outer watch post to raise alarm in case of any enemy attack on the city.   Though not an architectural marvel but a complete fort with a small water reservoir, recreation chamber, war rooms and stable will delight visitors. Madan Mahal fort is symbol of honor and courage of martyr queen Rani Durgavati and powerful Gond rule.    Hill of Madan Mahal fort has a natural Balancing Rock also on the way to the fort.
