Rajmachi Fort, Monument of National Importance in Pune district, India
The fortification consists of two peaks, Shrivardhan and Manaranjan, positioned at 2710 feet above sea level in the Sahyadri mountain range.
The fortress, constructed by Emperor Shivaji Maharaj in 1657, controlled the Borghat trade route between Khopoli and Lonavala until British occupation in 1818.
The ancient Shiva temple built in Hemdpanti style and the Kal Bhairav temple between Shrivardhan and Manoranjan remain active places of worship.
Visitors can reach the fort through two routes: a 15-kilometer path from Lonavala or a steep climb from Kondhane village in Karjat Taluka.
The complex includes Buddhist caves, known as Kondhane caves, dating from 200 BC, along with water reservoirs constructed over 200 years ago.
