They founded the fortified town of Jasdan on the banks of Bhadar River. http://www.heritagehotelsofindia.com/images/hotels/hingolagadh-palace.jpgThe Darbargadh at Jasdan is a beautiful example combining plaster decoration with intricate wrought iron work. The decoration above the arches and 'jharokhas' are noteworthy. Hingolgadh Nature Education Sanctuary in the vicinity of Jasdan is a creation of the nature loving rulers of Jasdan.
