Vishnu and Mahadev Temple near Manikgarh fort was built by the Naga King Gahilu. The temple is built of large black stones. This is a historical old temple which build with black stones.
The capital was shifted from Ballalpur to Chandrapur later and the Ballal kings built an extensive fort with high walls and projections. The fort had four impressive gates at four cardinal points. The original buildings are not there anymore but the gates and a portion of the wall still exists. Chandrapur was annexed by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur in the middle of the 18th century. Finally, the fort was captured by the Britishers in 1818 AD.
During 1437-62 AD, Ballalpur was the capital of the Gond King Khandakya Ballalshah. The fort that was built here on the eastern bank of the Wardha River is square in shape with walls and bastions. There are still two gates that are intact and are set at a right angle to each other. There is also a small rear gate on the riverside.
