Share

The Asirgarh Fort is said to have been built by a King named Asa Ahir in the early 15th century. He was murdered by Nasir Khan of Khandesh. Nasir Khan's descendant Miran Bahadur Khan declared his independence and refused to pay homage to the Mughal Emperor Akbar and his son Daniyal. Akbar marched towards Burhanpur in 1599 and occupied the City. Akbar then besieged Asirgarh Fort and captured it on 17 January 1601. During the Second Anglo Maratha War, on 18 October 1803, British forces took the pettah of Asigarh with a loss of two killed and five wounded.
