Vasota Fort

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search

Vasota Fort (also called Vyaghragad (व्याघ्रगड)) is located in Satara district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.^[1]

History

It was famously defended by Tai Telin a mistress of Pant Pratinidhi a killedar of the fort when he was captured.

Vasota fort is attributed to the Kolhapur Shilahara Chief Bhoja II (1178–1193) of Panhala^[1]. Vasota always remained with Marathas, Shirkes & Mores in 16th century.

Shivaji Maharaj incorporated the fort into Swarajya in 1655 during the conquest of Javli. Shivaji Maharaj renamed the fort “Vyaghragad” (Vyaghra – means tiger), owing to its difficult natural defense.

In 1818 the British bombarded the fort with heavy artillery, destroying many buildings on Vasota (Chandika mandir, Daru-kothar, etc.) and looted property worth 5 lakhs.

Places to see

The fort is in dilapidated condition and is overgrown. The remnants of Shree Mahadev mandir and the plinth of a huge “sadar” (discussion place) are there. It is a protected natural reserve.

Location

Vasota Fort is located about 70  km from satara near Bamnoli village on the banks of Shivsagar lake.
