Padmadurg, Sea fort in Raigad district, India
The Padmadurg fortress stands on an island near the Maharashtra coast, featuring six stone bastions and thick defensive walls overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Built in 1676 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, this maritime fortification served as a strategic naval base to monitor activities around Janjira Fort.
The fort exemplifies the architectural methods of Maratha military engineering, with its systematic layout integrating local construction techniques and maritime defense requirements.
Visitors need to arrange boat transportation from Murud-Koliwada and obtain permission from customs authorities before accessing the fortification complex.
Archaeological excavations in 2012 revealed a collection of 250 historical cannonballs within the fort premises, indicating its role in naval warfare.
