Ajinkyatara Fort — Attraction in Maharashtra

When Shivraj was expanding, Shivaji Maharaj won the fort on July 27, 1673. Shivaji Maharaj had to take rest for two months after coming to the fort. Aurangzeb entered Maharashtra in 1682 after Shivaji Maharaj's death. C. In 1699, Aurangzeb set siege to Durga in Satara. At that time, the fortress of the fort was Prayagji Prabhu. On the morning of April 13, 1700, when the Mughals used to make two tunnels and lights for tunneling, the Mars bastion was thrown into the sky in a moment. Some of the Marathas on the coast collapsed. Prayagji Prabhu was also found in the blast, but did not read anything without harm. In the same time, the second explosion occurred. Therefore, the Mughals who were going forward on the big shore collapsed and 150 thousand Mughal soldiers were killed. All the granulation and ammunition of the fort ended and on 21 April, Subhanji won the fort. It took a little over four and a half months for the Mogli target to cast the fort. The fort is named after Azmatara.

Places to see:There are two doors on the path of Satara from which we enter the fort. Even today, the first door of these two doors is in good condition. There are two bastions in the door. On entering the door, there is a temple of Hanuman on the right. It is better to live in this temple, but there is no water available on the fort. After going inside the door, going straight through the road on the left, there is a Mahadeo temple on the way. In front of the Prasar Bharti Center and behind the two Prasar Bharati centers have towers. On the way forward, there is a path to the left and a place written on "Mangaldevi temple".

We are not sure if camping is allowed on this fort as we had gone for a one day trip to Ajinkyatara. But the Hanuman temple is large enough to accomodate atleast 12-13 people. Also its better that you carry your own food as there are no good restaurants nearby.

There is no potable water on the fort, hence if you are planning for overnight treks, ensure that you have plenty of drinking water and usable water.

During the winters, the temperate falls pretty low and hence  take enough of blankets or anything that will keep you warm at night. After a hard days trek, all you need is a good night sleep.

History: This fort was also the capital of the Maratha Empire like Raigad. It was the 4th Capital.

In 1708 Shahu Maharaj won this fort by treachery and then this was under the Maratha Empire till 1818. This was the place where Shahu Maharaj had imprisoned Tarabai.
