Vijaydurg, a coastal fort of Shivaji in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra.
ಛತ್ರಪತಿ ಶಿವಾಜಿ ಮಹಾರಾಜರ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಅಭೇದ್ಯ ಕೋಟೆ... ವಿಜಯದುರ್ಗ, ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ
Vijay Durg Fort, nestled in Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district, is a testament to the region's rich maritime history. Built in the 12th century by Raja Bhoj II of the Shilahar dynasty, this fort was originally known as Gheria. Its strategic location on the Arabian Sea made it a prized possession for various rulers, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who captured it in 1653 and renamed it Vijay Durg, meaning "Fort of Victory" .
The fort's architecture is a marvel, with triple-layered walls, 27 bastions, and angled walls designed to deflect cannon fire. Its unique defensive mechanisms include tidal gates and hidden underwater walls to damage enemy ships. The fort's location on the 40 km long Waghotan Creek made it nearly impregnable, as large vessels couldn't enter the shallow waters .
Vijay Durg Fort played a pivotal role in naval warfare, serving as a stronghold for the Maratha Navy under Admiral Kanhoji Angre. The British, Portuguese, and Dutch attempted to capture it several times but failed, earning it the nickname "Eastern Gibraltar" .
Today, the fort is a protected monument and a popular tourist destination, offering breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea and insights into Maharashtra's glorious past.

Yashwantgad in Sindhudurg, described as a naval base built for Pulakeshin.
ಪುಲಿಕೇಶಿಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಕಟ್ಟಿದಂಥ ನೌಕಾನೆಲೆ... ಯಶವಂತ ಘಡ... ಸಿಂಧೂದುರ್ಗ ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ
In 610-611 AD, Redi was an important trading port under the Chalukya ruler Swamiraja. Redi Fort was built before the rise of the Marathas, with construction starting around 600 AD. Each successive ruler expanded the boundaries of the fort. The current fort walls extend to nearly a 1 km radius, but the original fort stretched from the north, where the Ganesh idol was discovered, to Kanlya Lake, and included Durgusa Island in the Arabian Sea. The fort was part of Admiral Kanhoji Angre's line of defenses, built for Maratha Queen Tarabai Bhosale.
