GHERA SURGAD FORT
Gherasurgad, Raigad, Maharashtra, India
Surgad is a hill fort located in a spur, fragmented from the Sahyadri ranges of Maharashtra. The fort is situated near Roha, next to the village of Gherasurgad in the Raigad district. This fort was an observation fort, which guarded the trade route along the Kundalika river from Sudhagad to Revdanda fort. This fort is believed to be built by Shilahar kings and subsequently used by the Nizam of Ahmednagar. The great Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji is also believed to have reconstructed this fort. During the Rajaram's regime this fort was captured by Shankarji Narayan Sachiv from the Siddhi of Janjira. In 1733 again this fort was captured by Senior Bajirao. During Peshwa period this fort was used to keep prisoners. There is a block of stone with inscriptions in Fasasi and Devnagari. The inscription records that the fort was built in the beginning of the second year of the command of Sidhi Saheb.
