Mandu or Mandavgad is a ruined city in the present-day Mandav area of the Dhar district. It is located in the Malwa region of western Madhya Pradesh, India. Due to its strategic position and natural defences was an important place with a rich and varied history. It was an important military outpost and its military past can be gauged by the circuit of the battlemented wall which is nearly 37 km and is punctuated by 12 gateways. The wall encloses a large number of palaces, mosques, Jain temples of 14th century and other buildings.
