Built-in mid the 17th CE, on an islet in the Arabian Sea, it took only three years to construct it. Its foundation has been set in molten lead and the ramparts have 75000 kgs of iron in them. Just imagine the strength of the fort. No wonder it still stands strong after so many centuries, despite not having much maintenance effort. The design is such that it is difficult to make out the entrance from the outside. Even if you figure it out after going around the fort, the way into the fort is not straight for the first-time visitor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21797\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21797\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21797 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sindhudurg-fort-fortress-in-sea.jpg\" alt=\"Sindhudurg Fort a fortress in the sea\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sindhudurg-fort-fortress-in-sea.jpg 600w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sindhudurg-fort-fortress-in-sea-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mighty fortress in the sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Water_to_sustain\"><\/span>Sweet Water to sustain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being an island the biggest issue would have been sweet water for sustaining life inside the fort. There are three sweet water wells inside the fort. I got two contradicting theories about sweet water \u2013 first is simply that they are naturally sweet water wells. And the other seems more logical that Shivaji had the rainwater harvesting system in place. The water from the monsoon was good enough to sustain life inside for a whole year. I could not verify which one is true. But to my logical mind, the second sounds more likely as the bed around the islet is quite rocky, and having a natural well sounds unlikely.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21798\" style=\"width: 397px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21798 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/view-from-sindhudurg-fort.jpg\" alt=\"View of the wall and sea from atop\" width=\"397\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/view-from-sindhudurg-fort.jpg 397w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/view-from-sindhudurg-fort-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/view-from-sindhudurg-fort-278x420.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the wall and sea from atop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shivaji_Temple_at_Sindhudurg_Fort\"><\/span>Shivaji Temple at Sindhudurg Fort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then, there are things to see inside the fort. There are a few temples, but the biggest one is dedicated to the Maratha warrior and the most revered figure in Maharashtra Shivaji himself. Beautiful trees surround this simple but serene temple.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fort_Walls\"><\/span>Fort Walls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can go in any direction from the main entrance and climb the thick walls with bastions that define the fort. The condition of the walls is not great, the steps are uneven and there are no safety features installed. No medical facilities seem to be available, so you need to be very careful while climbing. If you climb, you will see the view of the coastline with coconut trees forming the skyline. Colorful boats provide vibrancy with their colors against the different blues of the ocean and the sky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tarkarli Beach is also visible from one side of the fort. There are Shivaji\u2019s fingerprints and footprints that are preserved by building a small structure around them. You have to stress your eyes a bit to look at them through the iron rods. Small shops inside sell cold drinks, Sharbats, and snacks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21799\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21799\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21799 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shivarajeshwar-temple-in-sindhudurg-fort.jpg\" alt=\"Shivarajeshwar temple in the Sindhudurg Fort\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shivarajeshwar-temple-in-sindhudurg-fort.jpg 600w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/shivarajeshwar-temple-in-sindhudurg-fort-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shivarajeshwar temple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myths_Legends_of_the_Sindhudurg_Fort\"><\/span>Myths &amp; Legends of the Sindhudurg Fort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are myths and legends associated with the fort. It is a living fort, even today and few families still live inside it and take care of the temple and other things. Rough roads lead you in various directions. It is said there is an underground tunnel through the ocean that leads to one of the villages on the coast that were closed during the British period. Now we know that most forts have an escape route built in. But building a secret tunnel to the fort is tricky because it can be discovered very easily by the enemy and blocked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today no one is able to point out where that tunnel is. There is a coconut tree with a branch that also produces coconut; this is an exception, as the coconut tree does not grow branches. My logical mind says this must be a hybrid tree.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21800\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21800 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/landscape-view-beach-shores-sindhudurg-fort.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape view of the seashores\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/landscape-view-beach-shores-sindhudurg-fort.jpg 600w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/landscape-view-beach-shores-sindhudurg-fort-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Landscape view of the seashores<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boat_ride_to_the_fort\"><\/span>Boat ride to the\u00a0fort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The boat ride is enjoyable.
