Ratangad |
Ratan means Jewel in Hindi. This
hill fort is indeed jewel in all the
hill forts here in Sahyadri. It is
located in the district of Ahmednagar
and is located about 4255 feet above
sea level. It lies in the Ajoba mountain
range surrounded by great mountains
of Kulang, Alang, Kalsubai, Katarabai,
Ajoba and Ghanchakkar. Geographically
Ratangad is at the banks of Bhandardara
lake of Ahmednagar district. With
views of lake and highest mountains
in Sahyadris looks very much lost
in time. At the base of this fort
is ancient Lord Shiva (Amurteshwar)
temple. About 1000 years old temple
of Lord Shiva, the Amruteshwar Temple
at Ratanwadi, is an absolute paragon
of high class architecture
Ratangad has still the remains of
fortress with bastions and stone walls.
Water cisterns are usually filled
with water throughout the year and
trekkers use them as water source.
Eastern side of the fort has some
fortification left, one can see Rani
mahal here. From the southern side
on can see Katrabai and Ajoba fort
very close
