Sinhagad Fort

 

Sinhagad is a fortification spotted generally south west of the city of Pune, India. This post has had truly a long history, It was called "Kondana" after the sage Kaundinya. The Kaundinyeshwar sanctuary, the hollows and the carvings demonstrate that this stronghold had most likely been assembled two thousand years back. It was caught from the Koli tribal chieftain, Nag Naik, by Muhammad canister Tughlaq in 1328 AD. A standout amongst the most celebrated fights for Sinhgad was battled to recover the post by Tanaji Malusare, a general of Shivaji in March 1670. A soak bluff prompting the post was scaled with the assistance of a screen reptile named yashwanti, conversationally known as a ghorpad. From that point, there followed savage fights in the middle of Tanaji and his men, and the mughal armed force that had the fortification at the time. Tanaji lost his life, yet his sibling Suryaji assumed control and caught Kondana.

 

The name Sinhagad, however, originates before this occasion, and can be seen in composed dispatchs from the period. A bust of Tanaji has been built on the post in memory of his commitment to the fight. It stays right up 'til the present time an amazing image of an extraordinary Maratha triumph. The dividers, the bastions and the inclines of the fortification are assembled with gigantic thought giving characteristic security and have been constructed at just a portion of the key focuses. The Fort has just two entryways to enter the structure, the Kalyan Darwaza and Pune Darwaza which are situated at the south east and north-east closures separately.
