Raigad Fort near Mahad is a hill fort situated near the Mahad. The Raigad Fort was seized by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and made it his capital in 1674 when he was crowned as the King of a Maratha Kingdom which later developed into the Maratha Empire, eventually covering much of western and central India.
Spent about 3 hours on the fort and could see the fort in detail as we used cable car to reach the fort top. The reminded all of us the glorious period of Chatrapati Shivaji who vehemently fought with the Mugals and the Shahis.
