Gawilghur Fort, Mountain fortress in Chikhaldara, India.
The stone fortress stands at 1103 meters on the Deccan Plateau, featuring three entrance gates and multiple defensive structures across its perimeter.
The Muzzafarid dynasty constructed this military stronghold in 1425, later becoming a focal point during the Second Anglo-Maratha War of 1803.
Persian inscriptions adorn the seven gates of the fortress, while a mosque with intricate stone lattice work represents the Pathan architectural style.
The fortress remains open from 6 AM to 6 PM daily, with entry fees of 25 rupees for Indian nationals and 300 rupees for international visitors.
Two water reservoirs, Devtalav and Khantalav, supplied water during extended sieges and remain visible within the fortress complex.
