Sajjangad, Hill fort in Satara district, India
Sajjangad Fort rises 914 meters above sea level and contains two main gates, multiple lakes, temples dedicated to Rama, Hanuman, and Anglai Devi.
The Bahamani Emperors constructed this fortification between 1347 and 1527, originally naming it Aashwalayangad before its capture by Shivaji Maharaj in 1673.
The fort houses the tomb of Samarth Ramdas, spiritual guide to Chhatrapati Shivaji, where daily rituals include morning prayers and readings from Dasbodh text.
Located 16 kilometers from Satara city, visitors need to climb 300 steps to reach the fort entrance, which remains open from sunrise to sunset.
The Ramdas Swami Sansthan trust manages the fort complex and provides free meals and accommodation for devotees at the recently built Bhaktniwas.
