Rajgad Fort, Mountain fortress in Pune district, India.

The fort structure extends across Murumb Hill at 1,376 meters elevation, featuring three distinct sections called Machis connected by fortified walls and gates.

Between 1647 and 1670, this fort served as the capital of the Maratha Empire under Chhatrapati Shivaji before moving operations to Raigad Fort.

The Padmavati Temple within the fort holds religious ceremonies and accommodates up to 50 visitors with its stone architecture and water supply.

Visitors reach the fort through multiple starting points at Gunjavane and Pali villages, requiring a 3 to 4-hour trek to the summit.

The fort contains several fresh water tanks carved from rock that remain functional throughout the year, supporting extended stays at the monument.
