Forts in Maharashtra
Forts in Maharashtra, numbering around 350, are the sentinels of time. Built by the great warrior leader Shivaji of the Maratha Empire, these forts in Maharashtra have witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the struggle of independence, the vitality of the post independence era. They still stand tall, protecting the cities that were built within the fort walls and now are expanding outwards, from the unknown perpetrators that may strike from the otherwise placid shores.
Whether it is the island fort of Murud-Janjira or the Bassein (Portuguese) Fort guarding the sea, whether it is the Raigad Fort set on the Sahyadri Hills or the city fort of Panhala, all forts are unique in their architecture and common in their function.
