Fort |
This fort was built to keep an eye
on the ancient ports of Panvel and
Kalyan situated in North Konkan. From
the study of the caves in this fort
it is estimated that it belongs to
the time of Buddha. The Shilahar and
Yadav dynasties made it an army camp
because of the strong man-made caves
engraved in this fort and named it
‘Muranjan’. It was built
at the time of the Bahamani Empire.
Afterwards it came under the Nizam
Shahi dynasty of Ahmednagar. When
the Nizam Shahi dynasty was on the
verge of collapse, Shahaji Raje came
to their support, but the Mughal emperor
Shahajehan and Adil Shah of Bijapur
both sent their army separately to
defeat Shahaji. When Shahaji came
to know this, he moved his army to
fort Kondhana and fort Murumbdev.
He then requested help against the
Mughal and Adilshahi forces from Siddhis
of Janjira, but was refused. So Shahaji
tried to get help from the Portuguese
in the city of Chaul, but failed again.
Finally Shahaji, with his wife Jijabai
and son young Shivaji moved on Muranjan
fort along with army. Later in 1636
Shivaji left Muranjan fort. In the
same year 1636 the Agreement of Mahuli
was made according to which the North
Konkan went under the Mughal Empire
who granted authority to Adilshaha
of Vijapur to rule the area in return
for tribute. Shivaji grabbed this
opportunity. He defeated More of Javli
and captured the Javli area. At the
same time a brave Sardar of Shivaji,
Abaji Mahadev won the area of Kalyan,
Bhiwandi and Rayri. That time fort
Muranjan came under swarajya of Shivaji.
Shivaji changed the name of this fort
from “Muranjan" to "Prabalgad"
(Prabal means "strong").
Later on, in 1665, according to Treaty
of Purandar, Prabalgad was one of
the twenty-three forts which were
handed over to the Mughal empire.
The Mughal Sardar Jaysingh placed
a Rajput named Kesarsingh Hada in
charge of the fort Prabalgad. In 1658,
the Marathas under Shivaji re-took
the fort once again. The Mughal Sardar
Kesar Singh committed suicide realising
that defeat was imminent. The Rajput
ladies in the fort commited Jauhar
(self-immolation) to escape dishonour.
The mother and son of Kesar Singh
who had hidden themselves in the fort
were granted freedom by the order
of Shivaji. In the investigation of
the fort great amount of wealth was
