Visapur Fort |
|
Visapur Fort is larger and also higher
than Lohgarh fort. Now in ruins, its
history is closely linked with that
of Lohagarh. Making use of its higher
position, the British troops in 1818
AD set up their canons on Visapur
and bombarded Lohagarh, forcing the
Marathas to leave the fort. Lohagarh
has a long history. It was occupied
by many dynasties: Satavahanas, Chalukyas,
Rashtrakutas, Yadavas, Bahamanis,
Nizamshahis, Mughals and Maarathas.
Lohagarh was captured by Shivaji in
1648 AD. but by the Treaty of Purandar
he had to surrender it to the Mughals
in 1665 AD. It was recaptured by Shivaji
in 1670 AD and was used for keeping
the treasury. Then on, the fort remained
with the Marathas. Ultimately Lohagarh-Visapur
was taken over by the British in 1818
AD.
Within the fort are caves, cisterns
of water. The ruins of a large stone-built
house are known as the Peshwa's palace.
In addition to a huge carving of Hanuman,
there are also several temple dedicated
to him scattered all over the place.
Hanuman was likely the patron deity
of Visapur fort.. |
