Chanderi Fort
 Deogarh or Fort of the Gods and Chanderi Fort: These forts are on the either side of the Betwa River on the main route to the Deccan. They enclose the broken curtain walls and the remains of over 30 Jain temples, dating back mostly to the 9th and 10th centuries but Varaha temple dedicated to the boar incarnation of Vishnu, date back to the 5th century.
Below the fort, not far from the banks of the Betwa is a gigantic black-painted statue of Shantinath, one of the Jain pontiffs whose symbol, as at Gwalior, is an Antelope.
