Nearby Attractions in Sagar

Garhpehra Temple

Garhpehra Temple, also known as Old Sagar, was once the capital of the Dangi Kingdom. Located about six miles north of Sagar on the Jhansi Road, it is home to the remains of an ancient fort built on low hills. The site features a bastion, a rough gateway, and a whitewashed temple set on a raised platform. The historic Shish Mahal (Glass Palace), believed to have been built by Raja Jaisingh around 200 years ago, is a two-storied square structure resembling a Mughal tomb, adorned with colorful glass tiles. Nearby lies a revered tomb and the scenic Motital Lake, enhancing the charm of this historic site.

Eran

Eran, situated at the confluence of the Bina and Reuta rivers, about six miles from Bamora railway station, is another prominent archaeological site. Serving as a gateway between Bundelkhand and Malwa, Eran derives its name from the Eraka grass that grows abundantly in the region. The site preserves remnants of ancient Vishnu temples, a fort attributed to the Dangis, and a magnificent 10-foot Varaha (Boar) statue, a rare icon of Lord Vishnu. Excavations by the Department of Archaeology, Sir Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, have revealed Chalcolithic relics linking Eran to the cultural horizons of Maheshwar and Tripuri, marking it as the northernmost limit of the Chalcolithic culture in Madhya Pradesh.

Rahatgarh (Bhalkund) Falls

Rahatgarh (Bhalkund) Falls - Located about 40 km from Sagar on the Sagar-Bhopal Road, this 16-metre-high natural waterfall on the Bina River is a popular picnic destination, especially during the monsoon. Surrounded by scenic hills and lush greenery, the spot attracts visitors seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

Sagar Lake

Sagar Lake - The historic Sagar Lake, from which the city derives its name, is the heart of Sagar. It is bordered by several ancient ghats and temples, including the Vrindavan Bagh Temple, Vitthal Mandir, and Chakra Ghat. Boating facilities and picturesque views make it a favorite leisure spot for residents and tourists alike.

Veerangana Durgawati Wildlife Sanctuary

Veerangana Durgawati Wildlife Sanctuary - Declared a tiger reserve in 2023, this sanctuary spans 2,339 km² across Damoh and Sagar districts. Named after the brave queen Rani Durgawati, it features diverse landscapes of hills, valleys, and streams.

Khajuraho Group of Monuments

Khajuraho Group of Monuments - Located about 200 km from Sagar, the world-famous Khajuraho Temples in Chhatarpur district are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for their Nagara-style architecture and intricate sculptures. Built between the 9th and 11th centuries by the Chandela dynasty, these temples exemplify India's artistic brilliance and cultural inclusivity, with shrines dedicated to both Hindu and Jain traditions.

Sanchi Stupa

Sanchi Stupa - Located about 121 km from Sagar (around 2.5 hours by road), the Great Stupa at Sanchi in Raisen District is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of India's oldest stone structures. Commissioned by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE, it enshrines the relics of the Buddha and features intricately carved toranas (gateways) added in the 1st century BCE. Sanchi, also the birthplace of Ashoka's wife Devi, is surrounded by other ancient Buddhist sites like Satdhara, Sonari, and Andher. The stupa's image on the ₹200 currency note reflects its enduring cultural and historical significance.

Zoology Departmental Museum

Zoology Departmental Museum - Located within the Department of Zoology at Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, this museum showcases a rich collection of preserved specimens, including vertebrates, invertebrates, and fossils. It serves as an educational resource for students and researchers, highlighting biodiversity and taxonomic studies.
