Vardhangad Fort, Military fort in Satara district, India.
The stone fort rises 900 feet above the plain on a round-topped hill between Koregaon and Khatav Talukas in Maharashtra.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj commissioned the fort's construction in 1673 to protect the eastern borders of his expanding territory, completing it in 1674.
The Vardhinidevi temple within the fort grounds hosts an annual celebration during Dasara, bringing local residents to participate in traditional festivities.
Visitors can reach the fort through multiple paths, with the main route starting from the Satara-Pandharpur road and leading up the southern slope.
The fort contains a concealed tunnel system that reportedly connects to Mahimangad Fort, though its entrance lies hidden beneath stones and vegetation.
