Purnagad Fort, Coastal fort in Ratnagiri district, India
The rectangular fort spans 22 acres on a northern hill, featuring black basalt rock construction and two entrance gates overlooking the Muchkundi River Creek.
Built during the Maratha Empire period, the fort served as a naval base for Admiral Kanhoji Angre who utilized it for operations against British forces.
The entrance gate displays carved representations of the Sun, Moon, and Ganapati, while a Hanuman temple stands within the fortification walls.
