Location Details

This fort gained importance due to the arrival of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj here. When Shivaji Maharaj was returning from Jalna village, 22 November 1679 the Mughal Sardar, Ranmast Khan challenged him with his army. The great war of the Marathas and the Mughals took place at this very place for almost 3 days. The warrior Sindoji Nimbalkar showed immense courage during this war. After the war, Shivaji Maharaj rested with his army at the Pattya fort. And then he named the fort as Vishramgarh. This indicates that Pattaya was under Swaraj during Shivaji Maharaj’s reign. Then in 1688 A.D. during Sambhaji Maharaj’s reign the Mughals conquered this fort from the Marathas.
