Default Sajjangad

Sajjangad : The fort has temples and many monuments on top. It was home of Swami Ramdas, the spiritual guru of Shivaji from 1608, when he lived in Parali and later from 1673 to 1681 on the fort. It had a small history and the Mughals controlled it from 1700 after the death of Shivaji and Swami Ramdas.

Buses ply directly to the fort from Satara ST stand (10 km). The fort has three temples (pilgrim centre), ashrams, accomodation and ruined buildings. Swami Ramdas samadhi is visited by many and is a good temple with a gopuram and an underground chamber for meditation.
