Pandavgad, Mountain fortress in Satara district, India.

The black stone fortification stands at 4,177 feet elevation, featuring natural escarpments and square walls northwest of Wai settlement.

Kolhapur Silahara chief Bhoja II constructed the fort between 1178 and 1193, later conquered by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1673.

The fort complex includes temples of Pandjai Devi and Maruti, along with ancient caves containing eight interconnected rooms and religious artifacts.

Visitors can access the fort through multiple routes, including the Wai-Mandhardev Road near Gundewadi or through the Renoshe settlement path.

The mountain formation appears crowned by a distinctive rocky surface, with seven water cisterns similar to those found at Chavand fort.
