Bhushangad
Bhushangad is a hill fort in the Khatav taluk of the Satara district of Maharashtra, India. It is oval in shape and rises 600 feet above the surrounding plain.[1] Its top is flat being about 300 square yards in area.[2]
The fort was originally built by Singhan II(1210 - 1247 CE) of the Devagiri Yadavs[1] with its exact date of construction not known. However Shivaji fortified considerably in 1676 so it is usually attributed to him.[3] The nearest fort is 5 miles away.
The fort is home to the only temple of Harinaidevi (an incarnation of Durga), who is revered by the Kulkarnis clan. There is also a temple dedicated to Maruti.[2]
