Sindhudurg Fort, Sea fort in Sindhudurg district, India.
Located on an island in the Arabian Sea, Sindhudurg Fort extends across 48 acres with walls rising 30 feet high and spanning 12 feet in thickness.
Chhatrapati Shivaji commissioned this maritime fortress in 1664, employing Portuguese engineers and 200 Vaddera workers to complete the construction by 1667.
The fort contains multiple temples dedicated to deities including Goddess Bhavani and Lord Hanuman, reflecting the religious practices of the Maratha Empire.
Visitors can reach the fort by boat from Malvan town, with services operating between 8:00 AM and 5:30 PM except during monsoon season.
The fort preserves handprints and footprints of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj embedded in a stone slab within its fortified walls.
