History <hr>

In 1653 Shivaji Maharaj had captured this fort from Adil Shah of Bijapur and renamed it as
"VijayDurg". The original name of the fort was "Gheria" and the first fortification appears
to have been constructed in 1200 during the regime of Raja Bhoj II. Shivaji Maharaj
developed Vijaydurg as an important base for Maratha warships.[4]
Maratha Empire looked to be in a decline after death of Shivaji Maharaj In 1680, when his
son and successor Chhatrapati Sambhaji was captured by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb
and brutally tortured to death on 21 March 1689. Later in that year the fort of Raigad fell
in the hand of Mughals. Wife of Shambhaji and his infant son Shahu along with many
others were captured and were treated as state prisoners.[4]
7
Shivaji Maharaj’s second wife’s son Raja Ram then took in charge of the Maratha Empire.
Inspired by the valiant death of Shambhaji, they fought back against the Mughals. It was
during his reign Kanhoji Angre alias Conajee Angria became Koli [6]admiral of naval army
of the Marathas. In 1698, Kanhoji made Vijaydurg the capital of his territory along the
coast.[4]
In 1700 Raja Ram died. Tara Bai,the brave widow of Raja Ram took over the control of
Maratha Empire. Putting her infant son on Maratha throne styled as "Shivaji II", Tara Bai
led successful operations against the Mughal from 1700 to 1707. Taking advantage of
discomfiture of Shivaji Maharaj’s ruling house Kanhoji Angre became the most "Powerful
and independent Naval Chief of West coast of India". Tarabai gave Kanhoji title of Sarkhel
(Admiral). At one time Kanhoji Angre was master of the whole coast from Bombay (Now
Mumbai) to Vengurla.

<hr> Battle of Vijaydurg <hr>

After the death of Kanhoji Angre, there were two short reigns by Sarfoji and Sambhaji. The
two brothers Manaji and Tulaji started fighting for the Angre throne. Nanasaheb Peshwe
had intervened in the disputes between Manaji and Tulaji. This created two spheres of
influence, Manaji in the north at Kulaba and Tulaji in the south at Vijaydurg. Tulaji Angre
was favored by Chhatrapati Shahu and was appointed as Sarkhel (Admiral) of the Maratha
Navy. This was against the will of Nanasaheb Peshwa.[7]
Sarkhel Tulaji
Tulaji was brave and a much more skillful seaman than Manaji. This had gained him the
favor of Chhatrapati Shahu. In a brief span, he had surpassed the record of his
predecessors in the number of English ships captured: Charlotte of Madras, William of
Bombay, Svern of Bengal and, Darby, Restoration, Pilot, Augusta and Dadabhoi of Surat.
He had also captured Anjanvel from the Siddis of Janjira. Another reason for the Peshwa
to go against Tulaji was that, Tulaji refused to admit the Peshwa as his superior,
8
maintaining that both were equal servants of the Chhatrapati. He refused to pay revenue
contribution and even annoyed the Peshwa by raiding his territory. Nanasaheb could do
nothing as long as Shahu was alive, but after his death in 1749, Peshwa was free to wreck
his vengeance on Tulaji.[7]
Death of Chhatrapati and rise of Peshwa
After the death of Chhatrapati Shahu, Peshwa was the next most influential ruler among
the ones with huge armies and numerous land forts under his command or at his disposal
under ownership of his vassals. Nanasaheb sought assistance of the English at Bombay to
end Tulaji's reign. A treaty was signed according to which a ground force under command
of the Peshwa and a naval force under command of the Company would attack and
destroy Tulaji. Among other articles, the treaty provided that Fort Vijaydurg, when
captured, would be given to the Peshwa.[7]
Fall of Suvarnadurg
In 1755, Commodore James of Bombay attacked the fort Suvarnadurg while the Peshwa's
army started capturing land and other coastal forts of Angre. This isolated Suvarnadurg
from landward. Commodore James first bombarded the fort from the west. 800 shots and
shells were expended at a range of 100 yards, but the walls did not collapse.[8] He then
entered the channel between the fort and the coast and fired on the eastern face as well as
the main gate. Both gave way. Some of the garrison tried to escape from the fort by a
tunnel running into the sea, but were discovered and killed.[9] Considerable damage had
been caused inside the fort by the bombardment and the garrison, finding no hope of
relief or reinforcements, surrendered. Commodore James returned to Bombay for the
monsoons.
Attack on Vijaydurg
After the fall of Suvarnadurg and all other forts of the Angre, Vijaydurg was the only fort
left under the command of Tulaji. In 1756, a large force under Admiral Watson converged
on Vijaydurg. Watson had arrived at Bombay from eastern waters and had with him
Colonel Clive with 500 marines. The English ships took station with Watson flying his flag
on the Protector. Two bomb vessels were in the extreme east. The Maratha ships were
anchored at the mouth of the creek, close to the fort. They all were bunched up, almost
hull to hull. Amongst these was the Company's ship Restoration, which caught fire. The
fire spread rapidly till the entire Angre fleet was destroyed, The bombardment of the fort
had caused considerable damage inside the fort and magazine had been blown up.[7]
Fall of Vijaydurg
Tulaji, meanwhile had left the fort and gone to the Peshwa's camp seeking a negotiation
but was promptly arrested and sent to one of the inland forts as a prisoner. The garrison
was asked to surrender and in the absence of any response Clive landed his marines on 11
February 1756, entered and captured the fort. A huge amount of booty was captured. 250
pieces of cannons, stores and ammunition, 100,000 Rupees and 30,000 in valuable items
fell into English hands.[7] Vijaydurg was not handed over immediately to the Peshwa as
9
per the terms of the treaty. It was eventually given up but only after the Company
obtained Bankot in exchange.[10]
End of Maratha Naval Supremacy 
The battle of Vijaydurg marks the end of the Maratha Navy as a potent force.[10] The
Maratha Admiral Dhulap captured some ships later. The Sawants of Sawantwadi, the
Chhatrapati of Kolhapur and the Gaikwads of Baroda, all had a few ships. But the
command of the seas, for all practical purposes had passed to the Company permanently.
they achieved this in 1756 only because of the alliance with the Peshwa.
 
<hr> Features of Architectural Interest <hr>

1. According to unconfirmed reports, there is a 200 meter long,

undersea/underground tunnel from the fort to the palatial Dhulap house in the
village.[11] Supposedly, the roof of the tunnel has been pinched to protect it from
landslides and it is also well ventilated. Now the tunnel is partially blocked. If the
presence of the tunnel can be confirmed, and the tunnel cleared, it could serve as a tourist
attraction of historical and architectural interest.

2. Recent oceanographic evidence supports the existence of an undersea wall,

constructed out at sea at a depth of 8–10 meter depth undersea.[12] Made of laterite, the
wall is estimated to be 122 meter long, 3 meter high & 7 meter broad. Attacking ships
often met a watery grave after colliding against this wall. When the Siddhi of Janjira was
going to attack Vijaydurg, he got a message from Portuguese telling him that they had lost
2 of their ships while they were nearing the fort.

3. 1.5 km from the fort up the Waghotan Creek, exist the remains of a naval dock
carved from rock.[13] This is where Maratha warships were built and repaired. The ships
built here were of the 400-500 tonnage capacity. This 109 meter long and 70 meter wide
dock faces the north side and is an achievement of Maratha naval architecture. Most of the
smaller ships used to be docked near this small inner port.[14] The southern and eastern
side is cut out of a natural rock and rest is dry masonry. In addition to this a number of
grapnel and triangular stone anchors were noticed in the adjoining area of dockyard.[15]

4. On the other hill in front of the fort a wall was built to deceive the enemy. When the
enemy attacked the wall, he had already wasted his ammunition and before he could
10
understand, he would be attacked by Marathas from the rear side.

5. The Archaeological Survey of India had undertaken restoration and repair works
for Maratha forts in Maharashtra which included Vijaydurg Fort along with Shivneri and
Sindhudurg Fort.[16]

6.The fort has many monuments, now in ruins which show the characteristics of
Maratha architecture. The food storage and court are such classic examples.

7.This fort also has a Khalbatkhana, where important meetings were held. There are
only 3 forts that had a Khalbatkhana. They are Rajgad, Raigad and Vijaydurg.

<hr> Movies <hr>

The Vijaydur Fort features in the movie Killa (The Fort), an Indian Marathi drama film directed by
Avinash Arun. Killa's locations include Guhagar, the Vijaydurg Fort and Ganpatipule.[17][18] The
cycle race between Chinmay (the lead character) and his friends to the fort lends the movie its title.
Some of the locals claim that Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer, a British scientist was observing a solar
eclipse from this fort on 18 August 1868.[citation needed] The y claim that during his observation
that the Helium Gas was discovered on Sun in the form of a yellow flame.[citation needed]
The published reports on the discovery of helium report, that helium was discovered by two
scientists independently in 1868. French astronomer Jules Janssen observed helium emission lines
on 18 August 1868 as a bright yellow line during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India.[19] On 20
October of the same year, English astronomer Norman Lockyer observed a yellow line in the solar
spectrum. He took the observation in West Hampstead, United Kingdom.[20] Norman Lockyer set
up an observation post at the Vijaydurg Fort for the Solar eclipse of January 22, 1898. In his report
he does not mention that he ever had been to the Fort before.[21] On that occasion a platform was
built.

<hr> History <hr> 

This fort is believed to have been constructed by the Shaiva Panth, followers of the Hindu
god Shiva, in the 13th century. A Menghai Devi temple, also referred to as the Tornaji
temple, is situated near the entrance of the fort.
In 1646, King Shivaji captured this fort at the age of sixteen, thus making it one of the first
forts that would become one of the forts of the Maratha empire. King Shivaji renamed the
fort ' 'Prachandagad' ' as Torna, and constructed several monuments and towers within it.
In the 18th century, the Mughal empire briefly gained control of this fort after assassination
of King Shivaji's son king Sambhaji. Aurangzeb, the then Mughal emperor, renamed this fort
Futulgaib in recognition of the difficult defense the Mughals had to overcome to capture this
fort. It was restored to the Maratha confederacy by the Treaty of Purandar.

 <hr>History <hr>

The Sinhgad Fort was initially known as "Kondhana" after the sage Kaundinya. The
Kaundinyeshwar temple coupled with the caves and carvings indicate that the fort had
probably been built around two thousand years ago. It was seized by Muhammad bin
Tughlaq from the Koli king nag naik in 1328 AD.[2][3]
Sinhagad: View from the "Pune Darwaja"
Shahaji Bhosale, as the commander of Ibrahim Adil Shah I, was entrusted with the control of
the Pune region. His son Shivaji, refused to accept the Adilshahi and initiated the task of
setting up Swarajya. Shivaji gained control of Kondana in 1647 by convincing Siddi Amber,
the Adilshahi Sardar who controlled the fort, that he, the son of Shahaji Bhosale, could
15
manage the fort's defences optimally. Bapuji Mudgal Deshpande played a key role in this
activity. Adil Shah jailed Siddi Amber for this treasonous act and schemed to get it back. He
imprisoned Shahaji Bhosale for a concocted crime and informed Shivaji. In 1649, Adil Shah
traded the fort for Shahaji's release. Shivaji Maharaj recaptured it in 1656 again with the
help of Bapuji Mudgal Deshpande who convinced the Fort commander by giving land in the
newly created Shivapur village and peacefully gained control of the fort.
This fort saw attacks by Mughals in 1662, 1663 and 1665. In 1664, "Shahistekhan", a
Mughal general, tried to bribe the people of the fort to hand it over to him, but was
unsuccessful.
"
Through the Treaty of Purandar, the fort passed into the hands of the Mughal army chief
"Mirzaraje Jaysingh" in the year 1665.
In 1670, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj reconquered the fort for the third time and the fort
came and stayed under the Maratha rule till 1689 A.D.
After the death of Sambhaji, the Mughals regained control of the fort. The Marathas headed
by "Sardar Balkawade", recaptured it in 1693. Chatrapati Rajaram took asylum in this fort
during a Mogul raid on Satara but died in the Sinhagad Fort on 3 March, 1700 A.D.
In 1703, Aurangzeb conquered the fort. In 1706, it once again went into the hands of the
Maratha's. Pantaji Shivdev of Sangola, Visaji Chafar and the Pant Pratinidhis played a key
role in this battle. The fort remained under the Maratha rule till the year 1818, after which
the British conquered it. The British however took 3 months to capture this fort, which was
longest it took them to win any fort in Maharashtra.[citation needed]

 <hr>Battle of Sinhagad <hr> 

One of the most famous battles on Sinhgad was fought by Tanaji Malusare, a Koli[4] general
of Chhatrapati Shivaji of the Maratha Empire in order to recapture the fort on March
1670[5]
View from Sinhagad
A steep cliff leading to the fort was scaled in the dead of the night with the help of a tamed
monitor lizard named "Yashwanti", colloquially known as a ghorpad. Thereafter, A fierce
battle ensued between Tanaji and his men versus the Mughal army headed by "Udaybhan
Singh Rathod", a Rajput sardar who had control of the fort. Tanaji Malusare lost his life, but
his brother "Suryaji" took over and captured the Kondana fort, now known as Sinhagad.[6]
There is an anecdote that upon hearing of Tanaji's death, Chhatrapati Shivaji expressed his
remorse with the words, "Gad aala, pan Sinha gela" - "The Fort is conquered, but the Lion
was lost".
According to some the name sinhagad predates this event.A bust of Tanaji Malusare was
established on the fort in the memory of his contribution to the battle.
 
<img src="d:/shivaji maharaj/Sinhagad/2.jpg" WIDTH="400" Border="2" /> 
 <hr> Culture and Tourism <hr> 

The Sinhagad Fort is a popular weekend destination for many residents of Pune, including
trekking enthusiasts with access to the top of the fort from the base of the Sinhgad village.
The trek involves a one-way walk of 2.7 km (1.6 miles) over which the walker gains about
600 m (1950 feet) in elevation.
Parts of the once extensive fortification are in ruins. The fort houses a memorial to Tanaji as
well as the tomb of Rajaram Chhatrapati. Visitors can see the military stables, a brewery
and a temple of goddess Kali (goddess) along with a Hanuman statue to the right side of the
temple, as well as the historic gates.
Training exercises are carried out at the fort by cadets from the National Defence Academy
at Khadakwasla. Cadets from the academy are regularly sent on hikes and runs from NDA to
Sinhagad in full battle gear.
The fort also houses a television tower for broadcasting local TV signals. Currently, Non-
Vegetarian food, Partying including alcoholic beverages and smoking is banned on the
17
fort.[8][9]
The local municipal transport service runs buses every hour from "Shaniwarwada" and
"Swargate" to the Sinhagad foothills at Donje village. The climbing route from either side of
the fort can be covered in an hour. Shared taxi services to the base as well as the top of the
mountain are also available.

<hr> History <hr> </center>

This fort was constructed by Shivaji Maharaj, the Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire.[3]
The main object was to counter rising influence of foreign colonizers (The English, Dutch,
French and Portuguese merchants) and to curb the rise of Siddis of Janjira. The construction
was done under the supervision of Hirojee Indulkar, in the year 1664.. The fort was built on
a small island which was known as the Khurte bet (bet means island in Marathi).

</video></center>
<center><hr> Structural details <hr>

</center>

Over 4000 pounds of lead were used in the casting and foundation stones were firmly
laid down. Construction started on 25 November 1664. Built over a period of three
years(1664 ?1667), the sea fort is spread over 48 acres, with a two-mile (3 km) long
rampart, and walls that are 30 feet (9.1 m) high and 12 feet (3.7 m) thick. The massive walls
were designed to serve as a deterrent to approaching enemies and to the waves and tides of
the Arabian Sea. The main entrance is concealed in such a way that no one can pinpoint it
from outside.
At a time when traveling by sea was banned by scriptures, this construction on an island
represents the revolutionary mindset of its engineer. A remain of an iron mould can be
seen.
 
<center> <hr>Permanent residents <hr>

</center>

The number of permanent residents staying in the fort has been in decline since the
fort's abandonment. Most of the residents moved out because of inadequate employment
opportunities, but over 15 families remain in the fort. The fort is closed for tourists during
rainy season due to the high tides in the sea.

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj seized the fort in 1656, then known as the fort of Rairi from
Raje Chandrarraoji More, The King of Jawli and a descendant of Chandragupt Maurya
family. Chatrapati Shivaji renovated and expanded the fort of Rairi and renamed it as
Raigad (King's Fort). It became the capital of Chatrapati Shivaji's Maratha kingdom.[citation
needed]
The villages of Pachad and Raigadwadi are located at the base of the Raigad fort. These two
villages were considered very important during the Maratha rule in Raigad. The actual
climb to the top of the Raigad fort starts from Pachad. During Chhatrapati Shivaji's rule, A
cavalry of 10,000 was always kept on standby in Pachad village.[citation needed]
After capturing Rairi from Chandrarao More, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj also built another
fort Lingana around 2 miles away from Raigad. The Lingana fort was used to keep
23
prisoners.[citation needed]

Raigad 1896
In 1689, Zulfikhar Khan captured Raigad and Aurangzeb renamed it as Islamgad. In 1707,
Siddi Fathekan captured the fort and held it until 1733.[2]
In 1765, The fort of Raigad along with Malwan in present Sindhudurg District, the
southernmost district of Maharashtra, was the target of an armed expedition by the British
East India Company, which considered it a piratical stronghold.[citation needed]
In 1818, the fort was bombarded and destroyed by cannons from the hill of Kalkai. And on 9
May 1818, as per the treaty, it was handed over to the British East India Company

The Raigad Fort was built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharashtra and the chief
architect/engineer was Hiroji Indulkar. The main palace was constructed using wood, of
which only the base pillars remain. The main fort ruins consist of the queen's quarters, six
chambers, with each chamber having its own private restroom. In addition, ruins of three
watch towers can be seen directly in front of the palace grounds out of which only two
24
remain as the third one was destroyed during a bombardment. The Raigad Fort also has
ruins of a market which was accessible to horseback riders. The fort also overlooks an
artificial lake known as the Ganga Sagar Lake.

The Maha Darwaja
The only main pathway to the fort passes through the "Maha Darwaja" (Huge Door). The
Maha Darwaja has two huge bastions on both sides of the door which are approximately
65–70 feet in height. The top of the fort is 600 ft higher from the location of this door.
The fort has a famous wall called "Hirakani Buruj" (Hirkani Bastion) constructed over a
huge steep cliff. The legend goes "that a woman by the name of Hirakani from a nearby
village had come to sell milk to the people living at the fort. She happened to be inside the
fort when the gates got closed and locked past sunset. Hearing the cries of her infant son
back at the village echo after nightfall, The anxious mother couldn't wait till dawn and
courageously climbed down the steep cliff in pitch dark all due to the love for her little one.
She later repeated this extraordinary feat in front of Shivaji and was bravely rewarded for
it." In appreciation of her courage and bravery, Shivaji built the Hirkani Bastion over this
cliff.
The King's durbar inside the Raigad Fort has a replica of the original throne that faces the
main doorway called the Nagarkhana Darwaja. This enclosure had been acoustically
designed to aid hearing from the doorway to the throne. A secondary entrance, called the
Mena Darwaja, was supposedly the private entrance for the royal ladies of the fort that lead
to the queen's quarters. The convoy of the king and the king himself used the Palkhi
Darwaja. To the right of Palkhi Darwaja, is a row of three dark and deep chambers.
Historians believe that these were the granaries for the fort.[3]

The Takmak Tok
From the fort, one can view the execution point called Takmak Tok, a cliff from which
sentenced prisoners were thrown to their death. This area has been fenced off.[4]
The statue of Chatrapati Shivaji is erected in front of the ruins of the main market avenue
that leads to the Jagdishwar Mandir and his own Samadhi and that of his loyal dog named
Waghya. The Samadhi of Rajmata Jijabai Shahaji Bhosale, Chatrapati Shivaji's mother, can
be seen at base village of Pachad.

The Samadhi of Jijabai
Additional famous attractions of the fort include the Khubladha Buruj, Nane Darwaja and
the Hatti Talav (Elephant Lake).
