History & culture
The town's story runs with the 1681 Rajput founding — the town founded by the Parmar Rajputs and the seat of the Narsinghgarh state of the 18th century, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Bhopal circuit and the home of the 19th-century Rajmahal palace and the Narsinghgarh fort; the town's history of the Holkar ties and the 1914 state palace and the lake's edges, gives Narsinghgarh its palace-town character.
