Bhagwantgad, Military fort in Sindhudurg district, India

The fort covers a 1.5-acre area with dense vegetation on the northern bank of Kalaval creek, rising 100 feet above the surrounding landscape.

Pant Pratinidhi constructed this fortification to observe the activities of Sawants of Sawantwadi, following the construction of nearby Bharatgad fort.

The Siddheshwar temple within the fort remains the only structure in good condition, representing the architectural heritage of Maharashtra's defensive structures.

Visitors can reach the fort from Malvan, located 18 kilometers away, and arrange small boats from Kavawadi village to cross the Kalaval creek.

The British East India Company captured the fort on March 29, 1818, after the garrison fled upon noticing British troops crossing the territory.
