Durgadi Fort
Durgadi Fort is a historic fort located in Kalyan, near Mumbai in Maharashtra. Built during the reign of Shah Jahan and completed under Aurangzeb in 1694, the fort sits on a hill beside the Kalyan Creek and played a key role in maritime defense and shipbuilding during Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's time.
The fort was later enhanced by Maratha rulers and included a small wooden temple dedicated to Goddess Durga, from whom the fort derives its name. It overlooks the Ulhas River and offers scenic views, making it a popular site for visitors interested in history and nature.
The fort has religious significance due to the Durga temple and a mosque within its premises, which has led to communal sensitivities and legal disputes over ownership. Today, the fort is guarded and maintained, serving as a cultural and historical landmark reflecting Maharashtra’s rich heritage.
