Bahadurpur fort has held its place in Indian history. It had been constructed by Raja Keshab Sein in 1620 AD.

History Like its other counterparts, namely the Tiun fort and the Sariun fort, the Bahadurpur fort is another structure of the rich Chanderi heritage. The erstwhile state of Mandi had Bilaspur and Suket as its neighbours in the south and a British governed one to the north. The Mandi and the Suket lineage share a similar history almost, the earliest ruler of Mandi being Sahu Sen. Bahu Sen was his younger brother and he had nine descendants, with Raja Keshab Sen being seventh in line. The Bahadurpur fort was built by him during war-ridden times to provide a shield against his enemies. Archaeologists state that the fort must have been strong and intimidating with high walls.
