I am sharing my experience of Chunar Fort with all so that it make you easy to reach there and also you can know the story of Chunar Fort. When I reached Chunar I am feeling lost for some moment to find fort. I reached to the back entrance of fort but it is closed due to some security purpose, then I walked around 1 km and find Bharatnath temple ,firstly I thought it is fort entrance, but it was not I walked up and sharing a video of that with you, then I walked further 500m and found finally entrance of chunar fort.
The top view is amazing from the fort ,river is flowing nearby , Baloo Ghat view and a piece of vibe from the nature I walked around and enjoyed it. Most of the area of fort is restricted due to Training Centre of Police. Chunar fort view

Story of Chunar Fort.
It is believed that about 2000 years ago, the famous emperor of Ujjain named "Vikramaditya's Anuj Bharatnath " took retirement and make this place ascetic. Bharatnath temple, located within a distance, has great recognition among local people. Their stories, built in spirituality, are sung from village to village in Bhojpuri songs.
Later that place would have been come under the control of 'Gupta' and 'Maukhari' Kings. About 13000 years old inscriptions and sculptures engraved in the feet of this hill, beautiful youth and sculptures depicted on the same stone block of about 1000 years old available inside the dega ,from Daha Jawar are a clear evidence of the religious importance and purity of this place.
There is also a belief of having the right of delhi husband "rai vidhas" on this fort for some days. it is also said that a golden palace was built in the fort for the residence of"queen sonva".
