Sinhagad, Mountain fortress in Pune district, India

Sinhagad Fort stands at 1312 meters on the Sahyadri mountain range, with multiple entrances, stone walls, and defensive structures across its perimeter.

The fort changed hands between the Mughals and Marathas until 1670, when Tanaji Malusare led a night assault that secured it for Shivaji's forces.

The Kalyan Gate features carved elephant reliefs, while the Kondhaneshwar Temple and Amriteshwar Bhairav Temple represent regional religious architectural traditions.

The fort remains open daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, with access through a 20-kilometer road from Pune, offering both vehicle and trekking options.

The fortress contains water tanks called Devtake, which supplied drinking water to Mahatma Gandhi during his visits to Pune.
