Vairatgad Fort, Military fort in Satara district, India.

The fort structure spans across a hilltop at 1,018 meters elevation, featuring ancient bastions, water cisterns, and temple ruins near the entrance gate.

King Bhoj of the Shilahar Dynasty constructed the fort in the 11th century, which later became a military station during King Shivaji's rule until 1818.

The summit contains a Hindu temple dedicated to Hanuman, with a stone idol placed outside the shrine for worshippers to visit.

Visitors can reach the fort through two paths from Vyajvadi village, with the shorter route taking thirty minutes and the longer route requiring one hour.

Stone inscriptions with undeciphered text remain preserved on a nearby hillock, while the fort's ramparts maintain their original structural integrity.
