Once a strong naval base of the Kingdom of Maratha, the Sindhudurg Fort now serves as a major tourist attraction. Covering some 48 acres with a two-mile long defensive wall that is 9.1 meters high and 3.7 meters wide, the Sindhudurg Fort is nothing short of grand. To give a better indication of its scale, more than 4,000 pounds of lead was used in its foundation, and as a result, it still stands intact today. Built in the 17th-century by the king of Maratha Empire, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, this sea fort houses a temple dedicated to him, which is perhaps the only temple of Shivaji Maharaj in the country. The fort can be reached by a ferry, which is easily available from Malvan. During rainy season, the fort remains closed due to high tides.
