Palamau on
the Auranga
river , 20
miles south-east
of Daltonganj
as the crow
flies, from
which the
district takes
its name is
for historian
and archaeologist
the most interesting
place in the
district,
for it was
for many years
the seat of
the Chero
chiefs and
it contains
the ruins
of the two
great forts
built by them,
the capture
of which by
Mughals and
later by the
British resulted
in the collapse
of the Chero
resistance,
the forts
lie within
the reserved
forests and
in order to
preserve them
the jungle
has to be
cut back at
intervals
.they are
a favourite
haunt of tigers,
whose pug
marks may
nearly always
be seen in
and around
the fort.The
walls which
are in preservation
are about
5 feet in
thickness
and those
of the old
fort bear
marks of cannon
balls and
bullets in
many places.
