#AsirgarhFort seems a Mughal dynasty architecture though fort was built under Asa Ahir’srule , who was a Hindu King . The fort was under his possession till 1399. But in that very year Nasir Khan, who was from faruqui Dynasty urged Asa Ahir to give shelter to his family members,
especially ladies, because there was some threat to his family members. When Asa Ahir allowed them to enter in the fort, then by conspiracy Nasir Khan took some trained soldiers in Litters who killed Asa Ahir along with his family members.

Thus the fort came under his hegemony. In the year 1536, the place was being ruled by Adil Shah,who was also known as Raja Ali khan,when Humayun visited Burhanpur after conquering Gujarat.Adil Shah was asked to accept the suzerainty of the Emperor and drop the title of ‘Shah’.
After some earlier refusal he accepted the overture. He was unable to face the large forces of Humayun. After Adil Khan, Bahadur Khan who was his son, refused the rule of Akbar and announced full governance on the fort . Unfortunately he was defeated by Akbar
and the possession moved towards him. And the fort was captured by Akbar in 1600 A.D. According to local tale, people says that Lord Krishna when gave a curse on Ashwathama that “Ashwathama will bear the load of all people’s misdeed on his shoulders.
He will always roam alone like an apparition without getting any affection and sympathy till the end of Kaliyuga. He will have neither any settlement nor any cordiality. He will live alone from the society. Never meet and talk with anyone meaning totally isolated from the world.
He will suffer from acute diseases which are incurable. These diseases are painful and forming ulcers that would never heal." Ashwathama was requested to give up his stone (gem) which was on his forehead. Lord Krishna further said that

“if you removed this gem then the lesion caused by removal of this stone on his forehead will never rehabilate and will affect you from leprosy, till the end of Kaliyuga”. According to people belief every time Aswathama finds his death time yet he never finishes.
When Kaliyuga would be on its end then,Ashwathama is to meet Sri Kalki, this will be the tenth and final avatar of”Lord Vishnu”.From then it is said that Ashwathama is lingering in the surroundings of the fort and he worships Lord Shiva in the fort temple earliest in the morning.
What still remains a mystery is that every morning there're fresh flowers and sandal offered to Lord Shiva. It is believed that he is the very first worshipper of that temple every day.People related to that area told a myth that sometimes Ashwathama is seen in night and lingers
around the Asirgarh Fort. And sometimes asks for turmeric and oil to stop the blood of his forehead. He takes bath in the pond which is in the campus of the fort and worships Lord Shiva in the temple of the Fort.
