▪️About fort
This fort was built during the period of Yadava of Deogiri in the 13th century. It was under the control of Yadavas from 1279 to 1308. It was later under the control of the Bahamani Sultanate followed by Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar, and the Mughals. In 1629, Shahaji Raje revolted against the Mohammed Adil Shah of Bijapur and the fort was captured by him. This fort was again captured by Adil Shah after the surrender of Shahaji at Mahuli Fort. The fort was under Mughals in 1633. in 1670 the chieftain of King Shivaji, Moropant Pingale, won the fort from Moghuls.[1] In 1688 the fort was again captured by Moghuls. The Koli tribal revolted in 1730 and captured the fort. The fort was under the control of Peshwas until 1818 when Captain Briggs of the East India Company captured it.
