August 12, 2023 @ 4:30 pm – August 13, 2023 @ 4:30 pm
Save as PDFRatangad fort is the jewel in all the hill forts in Sahyadri. It lies in the Ajoba mountain range, surrounded by the great mountains of Kulang, Alang, Kalsubai, Katarabai, Ajoba, and Ghanchakkar. The view of entire Bhandardara dam( Lake Arthur) gives sheer pleasure. It also has a natural rock cavity through which the sky can be seen. It is called Nedhe or eye of the needle.
Ratangad was captured by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and was one of his favorites. “Ratan” means Jewel in Hindi and indeed it is jewel in all the hill forts here in Sahyadri
At the base of this fort is the ancient Lord Shiva Amruteshwar temple. Famous for its carvings, dating back to the Hemadpant Era – roughly from the eighth century. Is an absolute pinnacle of the high-class architecture of our ancestors.
