Matingarh Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh One of the 36 garhs (or forts) of Chhattisgarh, this fort was associated with the Pendagarh Zamindars and also belonged to the zamindari of Ratanpur. Mentioned in journey details of British Captain Blunt in 1795 as a beautiful fort on a scenic hill. The first owners of the fort were the Rajgaud, whose status was that of a Dewan. In Samwat 1699, Kalyan Singh, the son of the zamindar of Uproda Himatrai, conquered the fort. The fort is presently in a completely dilapidated and ruinous condition, and the site needs immediate preservation.
