India /Maharashtra /Raigad /Alibag

Sight Address : Khanderi Fort is located in Alibaug, 4 Km from Main Town, Raigad, India. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Khanderi Fort is an ancient sea fortress that is situated in Raigad District in the state of Maharashtra. The island fortification is almost 20 km off the coast of the city of Mumbai. The structure was built in 1660 CE by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire. The geographical coordinate of the site is latitude 18.7042°N 72.8131°E. Khanderi and Underi are the forts built on two Islands near Thal, very near to Alibaug. The forts still stand proud in the Arabian Sea as they stood against the British and the Siddi in 17th century, and their walls are still intact. We can see the iron canons with cart wheels on Khanderi, which are rarely found in Maharashtra.

Khanderi Fort

HistoryEdit

Shivaji Maharaj selected the island of Khanderi to fortify it to keep a check on the British trade route to Mumbai and northward ports. He tried building the fort in 1672, but the British were sceptical and tried to siege the fort. The Marathas retreated, only to return back in 1679. Under the leadership of Maynak Bhandari, 150 men were garrisoned on Khanderi to complete the fortification. The English warned the Marathas, who did not pay heed to them. The Marathas continued their work without hindrance. The British then deputed their warships to block the supplies to the Marathas and stop their work. The Marathas till then had improvised a lot in their naval strategy, and deployed shallow vessels that could travel in low tide. Daulat Khan, another brave naval officer of Shivaji, defended the British from Khubladha fort of Thal and dispatched the supplies in the small boats during low tide, when huge British ships could not sail. Finally, Khanderi was completed and the British signed a truce with Marathas in 1680. On 8th March 1701, Siddi Yakut Khan attacked Khanderi, but had to retreat. In 1718, the British attacked this fort with a big fleet of warships. Mankoji Suryavanshi defended the fort with 500 men for almost a month, due to which the British had to retreat back. In 1814, the Peshwas took over the fort from Angres, who got it back in 1817. It went into the hands of the British in 1818.

Sight Address : Shrivardhan | 5 Km from Shrivardhan, Raigad, India Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Kondivli Beach, located 5 km away, is Shrivardhan’s pride. It’s one of the few beaches around that’s still secluded. The sands are unmarked by footprints, and the road winds around low-lying cliffs, from where you have to climb down to reach the waters. The currents are a bit unpredictable, but locals claim it’s safe for swimming. On a weekday you can be assured that you’ll have the beach’s brown-black sands all to yourself. On the other side of the road is a two or three centuries’ old and small Shankar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati.
