Dategad, Hill fort in Satara district, India.

Located at an elevation of 1,027 feet, Dategad Fort extends over 3 acres with dimensions of 600 feet long and 180 feet broad.

Initially under Muslim control, the fort later became part of the Maratha territory until Captain Grant captured it in May 1818.

The fort contains carved idols of Lord Hanuman and Lord Ganapati, measuring 10 feet tall, along with a Shivalinga near a 100-foot deep well.

Visitors can reach the fort through a 45-minute trek from Tolewadi village, ascending twenty rock-cut steps to access the main entrance.

The fort's walls were constructed using large laterite blocks without mortar, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of historical military architecture.
