The fort has a long history, it states that there was a old fort here called Mahadurga, the fort has been conquered by mains rulers in the past.
What we did notice is that, work is being carried on the renovation of this fort, which is good. But it was dusty in the fort premises.
What we did come across is that this fort is a mix of land fort and hill fort, its main entrance is via land, and has got valleys on the other three sides. A very strategic way of building a fort from defense point of view.
At the entrance there are two huge bastions. As the fort walls are low in height, there are holes in the walls, used to fire at enemy soldiers.
This fort has got plenty of bastions within its premises.
There are a couple of structures within the fort premises, there are no signboards stating what historic significance they hold.
There are a couple of tombs in the fort premises. Not sure who they belong to.
How to reach The best way is to approach from Beed. Its on Tuljapur-Beed highway. Bust since I was approaching from Nanded, I chose Parli Vaijnath- Ambajogai-Dharur road. Theres a left turn while going towards beed. One or two more turns will take you to outskirts of the village where the depleted structure can be easily identified. My Meter reading from Pune: 840 Kms .
