The area where the present-day fort is located was known as Chitrakut in ancient India. There are no unambiguous indications of the fort's inception because of how old it is. However, there are a number of possibilities that are still up for discussion. The prevailing idea holds that the fort was constructed by a local Maurya king named Chitrangada Mori. According to legend, Bhima, the great Mahabharata warrior, produced a body of water that was located next to the fort. According to legend, Bhima once used all of his power to strike the ground, which caused a sizable reservoir to form. The fabled reservoir originally used to be located in Bhimlat Kund, a man-made reservoir near to the fort.
