Ahivant Fort, Hill fort in Nashik district, India

The fort stands at 4024 feet elevation in the Ajintha Satmal Hill Range, featuring stone structures, water cisterns, and defense walls.

The Maratha King Shivaji captured the fort from Mughal control in 1670, though it later returned to Mughal hands under Aurangzeb's forces.

Multiple Shivling sculptures and a temple containing a statue similar to Saptshrungi demonstrate the religious significance of the fortification.

The trek to reach the fort entrance begins at Daregaonwani village, requiring a two-hour climb through an exposed path without tree coverage.

The fort contains a large central pond surrounded by ruins of storehouses, archways, and bastions from different historical periods.
