Vajragad is a smaller hill fort near Pune in Maharashtra, located close to the more prominent Purandar Fort, about 30-35 kilometers from Pune. It is also known as Rudramal and historically served as a strategic watchtower and defense post for the larger Purandar Fort, often referred to as its twin.
The fort stands on a hill at around 1,355 meters (4,444 feet) above sea level and has historical significance dating back to the 17th century during the Maratha Empire and conflicts with the Mughals. Vajragad houses temples such as the Rudreshwar Shiv Temple and has several large bastions and water cisterns.
It is associated with Hindu mythology and is connected to legends involving Lord Hanuman and Lord Indra. Vajragad, like Purandar, features distinctive rock formations and stone walls and is popular among history enthusiasts and trekkers, though it remains under army control with restricted access at times. It is a place of scenic beauty and historical importance in the Western Ghats region near Pune.
