Madhavgarh is a small village in the area of Satna district, Madhya Pradesh, India, which is 7 km from Satna. It once was a large kingdom but lost all its glory after the fall of the dynasty that ruled the kingdom and slowly became a village. Madhavgarh's name was inspired by Madhav Singh, who was a real king of nearby Madhavgarh fort. Some sources suggest that Madhav was the younger brother of Bala Dev Singh, who tried to kill his father to become the king and was then banished from the kingdom. Although the name of the kingdom was the same for a long time, it was still not an official name due to clashes with different opinions of different knowledgeable people in the kingdom. When Madhav became the king due to Bala being banished, he made the name 'Madhavgarh' official. In local areas, it is also known for its fort. Although, it is not so well known. Also, it is getting damaged day by day without any maintenance.
