Raigad Fort, Monument of National Importance in Raigad district, India
The fort stands at 1,356 meters above sea level in the Sahyadri mountain range, featuring multiple bastions, gates, and residential structures across its expanse.
Constructed in 1674, the fort became the capital of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, marking the establishment of the Maratha Empire in western India.
The royal court contains a replica throne in an acoustically engineered space, demonstrating the architectural expertise of Maratha builders during the 17th century.
Visitors can reach the fort summit by climbing 1,737 steps or taking a four-minute ropeway journey that covers 750 meters from ground level.
The Hirakani Buruj bastion commemorates a milkmaid who scaled down steep cliffs to reach her child after getting locked inside the fort complex.
