Bhushangad
Bhushangad is a hill fort located in the Khatav taluka of Satara district, Maharashtra. The fort rises about 600 feet above the surrounding plains, with a flat oval top area of around 300 square yards.
Its origins are unclear, but local legend attributes its construction either to King Singhana of Devagiri in the early 13th century or to Shivaji Maharaj in 1676, who is said to have rebuilt it after capturing it from the Adilshahi rulers. Later, Aurangzeb took control of the fort and renamed it “Islamtara.” The fort eventually came under British control in 1848.
It houses temples dedicated to Goddess Haranaidevi, who is revered by the Kulkarni clan, and to Lord Maruti. The fort has been well preserved, with access steps constructed by villagers and afforestation creating a green canopy. It offers scenic views and is popular among local visitors for its historical significance and natural beauty.
