hill fort is indeed jewel in all the
hill forts here in Sahyadri. It is

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
