Harihar Fort, situated in the Nashik district, holds a prominent place in the annals of Maharashtra's trade history. Believed to have been built during the Yadava dynasty, the fort later came under the control of the Bahamani Sultanate in the 15th century. However, it was during the reign of the Marathas that Harihar Fort gained strategic importance in the realm of trade. The fort, perched atop the rugged Sahyadri range, offered a vantage point for monitoring and controlling trade routes passing through the region. The significance of Harihar Fort in trade lay in its strategic location along the ancient trade routes connecting the Deccan plateau with the coastal regions. For more, visit the link below:
