Bhopatgad Fort

Location

Bhopatgad Fort, a comparably small fort, located in the outskirts of Jawahar has a structure like a fort constructed by Chathrapathi Shivaji. It is believed that Shivaji was holding his official and personal meetings in this fort, made with dilapidated rocks. The inner chamber looks dark. This is a historical monument related strongly with the Maratha Kingdom.

Legends claims that this fort was visited by Lord Ram, wife Sita and the sons Lava and Kusha, and the smooth rock with the four pairs of foot prints points as the evidence of this legendary story. Many devotees visit this place to offer prayers to Lord Ram. The location is exquisite and one can view the half clouded mountains at long from this place.
