==History==<br />
The fort was built about the middle of the 15th century by a [[Maratha]] Chief and was named after him. It was taken by the Mohammedans. Between 16th and 17th centuries it belonged to the [[Nizam Shahi of Ahmadnagar]], as is evidenced front several inscriptions in the fort in which some of the kings of this dynasty are mentioned.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
The hill on which fort stays is nearly square in form and about a mile in circumference. It has a natural scarp about 700&nbsp;ft high on three sides while on the south it has been artificially scarped. Two fines of walls, with bastions at intervals, extend round the brow of the hill at a short distance from each other and the entrance was guarded by strong teak wood gates.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}<br />
