Situated in the Maval region, Tikona Fort, also known as Vitandgad, stands as a testament to the Maratha Empire's military prowess. Built during the Silhara dynasty's rule in the 8th century, Tikona Fort later came under the control of the Marathas during the reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The name "Tikona" is derived from its triangular shape, which is a distinctive feature of the fort. This shape not only provided a unique architectural identity but also enhanced its defensive capabilities. For more, visit the link below:
