Purandar Fort, situated approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Pune, shares a similar historical narrative. Originally constructed during the Yadava dynasty in the 11th century, Purandar Fort gained prominence under the rule of the Bahmani Sultanate in the 14th century. However, it was Shivaji Maharaj who, in 1646, seized control of Purandar, marking it as a crucial bastion in his expanding kingdom. The fort’s strategic location facilitated surveillance over the surrounding regions, enabling the Marathas to thwart potential invasions. For more, visit the link below:
