Sinhagad |
|
The windswept, ruined fort of Sinhagad (formerly Kandana), 26 km southwest of Pune at the top of an almost perpendicular cliff in the Bhuleshwar mountains. In 1647 Shivaji, on hearing that his general Tanaji had died capturing the fort, lamented "i hav won the fort, but lost the lion". To commemorate Tanaji's achievement, it was renamed Sinhagad, "lion fort". |
