About Rajgad
Rajgad, this majestic fort was the capital of the Maratha Empire till 1672 CE. Earlier known as ‘Murrumba Devacha Dongar’ was made one of the unconquerable forts of Medieval Maharashtra by the founder and architect of the Maratha Empire Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Rajgad, literally meaning ‘Ruling Fort’ was the capital of the Maratha Empire established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for 24 years. Rajgad is divided into two main parts as the lower fort and the upper fort. The upper fort comprises the Balekilla, where the royal residence was built. The Lower fort is made of three arms of the hill. Rajgad is located on the triangular tabletop of the hill. These three arms are named Suvela Machi, Padmavati Machi and Sanjivani Machi. Padmavati Machi got its name from the temple of Goddess Padmavati and the small reservoir of the same name.
Numerous structural remains and plinths of the palaces and houses can be seen here. There are remains of the office of the Maratha empire and the marketplace. This fort was the home of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It has witnessed different phases of his life, from the young sixteen-year-old Shivaji constructing the fort to becoming a King.
