Lohagarh Fort is also known as Iron Fort and is situated at the majestic hill of Lonavala, Maharashtra. It stands at an impressive elevation of 3,389 feet above sea level and offers breathtaking views of the lush green nature of the Western Ghats of India. The fort has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century from the Maratha Empire.
The name Lohagad is derived from two Hindi words - “Loha means Iron and Gad means Fort”.
The fort witnessed the passing of the dynasties from Lohatmia, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Yadavas, Bahmanis, Nizams, Mughals, and Marathas to the British administration.
For a century, the fort was under the hands of the Nizam Shahi Sultanate, In 1636, the reign of the fort went to Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
The fort came to its heyday when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took it into control in the year 1648 AD.
Lohagad Fort played a strategic role in the defense of the region. It was used as a prison for political prisoners and as a lookout point to monitor enemy movements.
With the treaty of Purandar, the Marathas had to give away 23 forts including Lohagad Fort in 1665 AD.
The fort was later re-captured by the Mughals. Again, in 1720 AD, the Peshwa took the reigns and Nana Fadnavis took charge in 1770 and renovated the fort.
By 1789, Nana Fadnavis fortified the fort, but by 1803, the Britishers brought heavy artilleries to capture the fort.
Ultimately, on 4th March 1818, General Prother seized the fort and later the Britishers used the fort for their resources.
