Chanderi is an
ancient army fort situated near Vangani (Kalyan).
There are not
much remnants on the top except few water tanks and shatters stones
The view from
the top is really alluring, one can observe Karnala, Prabalgad,
Irshalgad, Manikgad, Peb, Matheran, Nakhind, Navra navri, Tavli ect
from the top.
There is no
significant history attached to this fort. Near the caves on the fort are
visible some remnants of fortification. This is the only sign to designate
Chanderi as a fort. In May 1656, Shivaji Maharaj conquered all territory up to
Kalyan-Bhiwandi-Rairi. This was when this fort came under the rule of the
Marathas.
Lack of
development, low water storage areas, absence of significant constructions,
limited facilities for people to stay and extremely difficult approach road
seem to suggest that rather than a fort, this was possibly a military
base.
