Irshaal gad is a fort
situated in the Karjat region. The name Irshaalgad itself ia a misnomer; Irshal
is not a fort but a pinnacle. This is the reason why it hardly figures anywhere
in history. Shivaji Maharaj captured the vomplete region of Kalyan and
Bhiwandi, up to Rairi in May 1666. This fort too, must have come under the
Maratha rule at that time.
