History

The history is similar to the Salher and Mulher forts. The fort was ruled by King Gawali.[1] This fort was under the control of Maratha empire until it was captured by British forces in 1818.

Places to see

The fort is located on a high tableland with escarpments on all the sides. There is a statue of Chauranganath on the fort, whose village fair is held every year on Pithuri Amavasya which comes in August every year. There are three entrance gates and 4 rock cut water tanks on the fort. The gates are good example of marvelous architecture. The interior building and the fortification is lying in ruins [2]

gollark: I *should* have one, given that I've ended up getting up at 1am (time zone confusion), but I can barely get to sleep anyway most of the time.
gollark: Maybe one day TJ09 will refactor it, and the bugs will finally depart, partially.
