Pratapgad is a large fort
located in Satara district, built on a spur which overlooks the road between the villages of Par and
Kinesvar.
The fort can be divided into the lower fort and upper fort. The upper
fort was built upon the crest of the hill. It is roughly square, 180m long on
each side. It has several permanent buildings, including a temple to the god Mahadev. It is located at the northwest of the fort, and is surrounded by sheer
cliffs with drops of up to 250m.The lower fort is around 320m long and 110m
wide. It is located at the southeast of the fort, and is defended by towers and
bastions ten to twelve metres high.
The Battle of Pratapgarh between Shivaji and Afzal Khan was fought below the rampants of this fort on November 10, 1659. This was the first major test of the fledgling kingdom's army, and set the stage of the establishment of the Maratha empire.
