Murud-Janjira Fort, an impregnable 16th-century island stronghold off the Konkan coast, stands as a testament to Maratha and Siddi engineering with its massive stone walls rising from the Arabian Sea. Padmadurg Fort, another nearby marvel, was built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to counter Janjira’s dominance, showcasing strategic brilliance amidst serene waters. Both forts, accessible only by boat, offer a captivating blend of history, architecture, and scenic beauty.
