Avchitgad, Monument fort in Raigad district, India
The Avchitgad fortification stands at 300 meters elevation in the Sahyadri mountain ranges of Maharashtra, featuring defensive walls and stone structures.
The Shilahar kings constructed the initial fortress, which later came under Nizam of Ahmednagar control before Colonel Prother captured it in 1818.
The fort contains a temple dedicated to goddess Pingalsai and displays an ancient inscription in Sanskrit on its southern bastion from 1718.
Three separate paths lead to the fort summit, with the easiest route starting from Padam-Kharapti village through jungle trails taking approximately two hours.
The fortress includes a twelve-sided water cistern for bathing, complemented by six additional water storage structures that supply drinking water.
