भोपाल से लगभग 60 किमी दूर 'गिन्नौरगढ़' कभी गोंडों का गढ़ हुआ करता था, जिस पर रानी कमलापति का शासन था। उनकी मौत के बाद किले पर भोपाल के संस्थापक नवाब दोस्त मोहम्मद ने कब्जा कर लिया था। गिन्नौरगढ़ किला वैसे तो अब खंडहर हो चुका है, लेकिन यह आज भी उतना ही मनोरम दिखता है। इसका वास्तुशिल्प चकित कर देने वाला है।

Pardhi, a denotified nomadic community, continues to face social stigma, and the majority of its members make a living collecting recyclable wastes or selling bangles. Aranyavas in Bhopal provides free shelter to Pardhi children so that they can get an education and shun the tag of belonging to a 'criminal tribe'.

Ginnorgarh, some 60 kms from Bhopal, was the stronghold of Gonds under Rani Kamlapati, which, after her demise, was occupied by Dost Mohammad, the founder Nawab of Bhopal. The Ginnorgarh fort, now in ruins, is not only picturesque but is also an architectural marvel.
