Yeshwantgad, Island fortress in Ratnagiri district, India.
The Yeshwantgad fortress stands on a coastal island, featuring fortified walls that extend toward the Arabian Sea in Maharashtra state.
The fortress became part of the British Empire's territories in 1818 when the Ratnagiri region was incorporated into the Bombay Presidency.
Local residents gather at Yeshwantgad during regional festivals to celebrate Maharashtra's maritime heritage through traditional music and dance performances.
Visitors can access the fortress through boats departing from nearby coastal villages, with services operating during daylight hours from October to March.
The fortress grounds contain several Alphonso mango trees, connecting this military structure to Ratnagiri's agricultural identity as a premium mango producer.
