Fort |
Murud-Janjira is the local name for
a fort situated on an island just
off the coastal village of Murud,
in the Raigad district of Maharashtra,
India. Janjira from outside. The word
Janjira is not native to India, and
may have originated after the Arabic
word Jazeera, which means an island.
Murud was once known in Marathi as
Habsan ("of Habshi" or Abyssinian).
The name of the fort is a concatenation
of the Konkani and Arabic words for
Island, "morod" and "jazeera".
The word "morod" is peculiar
to Konkani and is absent in Marathi.

Murud-Janjira Fort is situated on an oval-shaped rock off the Arabian Sea coast near the port town of Murud, 165 km (103 mi) south of Mumbai. Janjira is considered one of the strongest marine forts in India. The fort is approached by sailboats from Rajapuri jetty.

rounded bastions, still intact. There
are many cannons of native and European
make rusting on the bastions. Now
in ruins, the fort in its heyday was
a full-fledged living fort with all
the necessary facilities, e.g., palaces,
quarters for officers, mosque, two
small 60-foot-deep (18 m) natural
fresh water lakes, etc. On the outer
wall flanking the main gate, there
is a sculpture depicting a tiger-like
beast clasping elephants in its claws.

palace of the Nawabs of Janjira at
Murud is still in good shape.[citation

fort are 3 gigantic cannons named
Kalalbangdi, Chavri and Landa Kasam.
These cannons were said to be feared
for their shooting range. Another
gate to the west is sea-facing, called
'Darya Darwaza'. There is also another
fortress, named Ghosalgad, which is
located on top of the hill around
32 km (20 mi) east of Murud-Janjira,
that was used as outpost for the rulers
of Janjira.
