Sindhudurga - Padmagad forts:
Huge sea
rocks of Malvan has easefully shouldered the responsibility of two
Forts Sindhudurg & Padmagad on their broad chest. The name of the
fort is given to the Sindhudurg district. Tourist from all over the
world visit through out the year to see this Maratha glory.
The fort
was built with the help of huge rocks on the Kurte Island which amazes
people & one appreciates imaginative power of Shivaji. In 1664
shivaji erected this fort on 44 acers of land.
In
Sindhudurg Fort there is 'Shri Shivarajeshwar temple' of King Shivaji.
Also there are temples of Hanuman, Jarimari mandir and Goddess 'Bhavani
Temple'. Impressions of shivaji's fingers prints found to be preserved
here on one of the wall . Also lies, inside the fort worth seeing
temples of Bhavanimata, Shambhu Mahadev, Jirimiri & Mahapurush. All
are in good conditions.
Kille Nivati :
This
dilapidated fort by the seashore impress upon the visitor by its range
of rocks situated at its bottom. The rippling perennial springs here
content one's mind. Fort also commands the fine view of Bhogwe beach.
Kille
Nivati was constructed by great Maratha ruler Shivaji. He was such a
visionary who had given proper attention at his naval force. He built
many forts for the protection of his empire. From this fort, one can
observe Bhogave's allevaing beach
Tarkarli Beach :
Tarkarli
is a narrow stretch of beach with pristine waters, located at the
convergence of the Karli River and the Arabian Sea. It is 546 k.m. away
from Mumbai, 6 kms. south of Malvan, on the west coast of India. This
place has gained prominence because of its transparently clear seas,
where on a fairly sunny day, one can see the sea- bed up to a depth of
20 feet. This beach can be rightly called as ‘Queen Beach’ of
Sindhudurg.
