Cultural Heritage
Emerging as the foundational seat of the illustrious Panwar dynasty, Chandpur Garhi Fort holds a pivotal place in the historical landscape of Garhwal. Raja Kanakpal, often credited with establishing the Panwar lineage in the region around 888 CE, strategically chose this commanding hilltop for his capital. Its formidable position allowed the nascent kingdom to assert control over crucial Himalayan trade routes and valleys, serving as the primary administrative and military hub for over six centuries, a testament to its enduring strategic value during a period of regional consolidation and expansion within the Gurjara-Pratihara sphere of influence. The fort's long tenure as the Panwar capital witnessed the gradual shaping of the Garhwal kingdom. However, a significant historical inflection point arrived around 1512 CE when Raja Ajaypal, the 37th ruler, made the strategic decision to relocate the capital, first to Devalgarh and subsequently to Srinagar. This move was necessitated by the kingdom's expansion and the need for a more centrally located and accessible administrative center to manage a larger territory and evolving political dynamics. While Chandpur Garhi's direct political centrality waned, its legacy as the cradle of the Panwar dynasty remained indelibly etched in the annals of Garhwali history, marking it as a site of profound historical consequence.
