Torna Fort, also known as Prachandagad, is perched atop the Sahyadri mountain range, approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Pune. Its historical roots trace back to the 13th century when it was initially constructed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s father, Maloji Bhosale, a prominent Maratha warrior. However, it was Shivaji Maharaj who, in 1646, took control of Torna and initiated its transformation into an impregnable fortress. The rich history of this fort makes it one of the significant monuments in Maharashtra. For more, visit the link below:
