History

The story of the support of the king of king ballālasāha.

Today, there is a place in chhattisgarh, where the king of king surajā ballālasinha (1447-1472 Īsavīsana) was the rule. After his death, his son khaṇḍakyā ballāla-Lrb-1472-1497 Īsavīsana-RRB-was on the throne. In search of a better capital, the new king came to 400 kilometers away from sirapura (Dantēvāṛā-Bhadrakali) and decided to make a new fort on the east coast of wardha. 16 kilometers from the district headquarters, 16 km South East was a very safe place for the construction of could. Khaṇḍakyā ballāla sah established the city called ballāraśāha which is known as ballārapura today.

Even after more than 500 years, there is still a part of the support of the gondwana, the pride and riches of the gondwana.

Today, ballārapura is known for the support of the gondal, but also for coal mining and paper mills. This was the capital of ballālapura, the king of ballālapura, the king of ballālapura. On The Eastern Coast of wardha, the land fort built here is a class with walls and towers. There are two intact doors set on each other's right angle. There is also a small entrance on the edge of the river. The walls of the fort are still intact, but all the old buildings are in total ruins. Many parts of this pillar are still safe inside the earth.

Even today, wardha can be seen from the roof of wardha and the natural environment around it. This fort is struggling for his existence today due to human encroachment, government neglect and natural reasons.

In today's time, when people have forgotten the gond, gondi culture, gondwana, it is enough to open the eyes of the fort people. Such historical buildings and monuments should be made to try to understand their glorious and aristocratic history.
