History can be misty & fuzzy, depending upon whose version you read. On this Utrayan, we went to Hatgad Fort, about seven kilometers away from Saputara, the crowded hill station of Gujarat. Hatgad was a fort used by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, en route his couple of sieges to our home town Surat, circa 1660s. The contorted history had always given an impression that Surat was plundered & looted by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, where as the Ghajnis & Mughal were considered as noble Emperors in spite of massacring hundred thousands of Indians during their various invasions. After trekking atop the Hatgad Fort at sunset & seeing the partial remains of this historic place under a golden haze, we read about the other side of the story.
The fine print of history books mention that the Mughal army led by Shaista Khan, had been staying put in Shivaji Maharaj's kingdom of Deccan, with massive economic damages to the maratha state. To make matters even, Shivaji Maharaj took the bold step of attacking the faraway Surat, which at that point of time, was one of the richest ports controlled by Mughals. Shivaji Maharaj in spite of the smaller army strength had superior planning & ingenious guerrilla warfare methods to bamboozle the mighty Mughals & was instrumental in instilling a nationalistic fervor of Swarajya in the Mughal ruled India of the 17th century.
Jai Ho Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki!
This fort has had quite a long history, It was called Kondana after the sage Kaundinya. The Kaundinyeshwar temple, the caves and the carvings indicate that this fort had probably been built two thousand years ago. It was captured from the Koli tribal chieftain, Nag Naik, by Muhammad bin Tughlaq in 1328 AD.
Shahaji Bhosale, as the commander of Ibrahim Adil Shah I, was entrusted with the control of the Pune region. His son Shivaji, however, refused to accept the Adilshahi and initiated the task of setting up Swarajya. He gained control of Kondana in 1647 by convincing Siddi Amber, the Adilshahi Sardar who controlled the fort, that he, the son of Shahaji Bhosale, could manage the fort's defences optimally. Bapuji Mudgal Deshpande played a key role in this activity. Adil Shah jailed Siddi Amber for this treasonous act, and schemed to get it back. He imprisoned Shahaji Bhosale for a concocted crime and informed Shivaji. In 1649, Adil Shah traded the fort for Shahaji's release. Shivaji Maharaj recaptured it in 1656, again with the help of Bapuji Mudgal Deshpande,who convinced the Fort commander by giving land in the newly created Shivapur village and peacefully gained control of the fort. This fort saw attacks by Mughals in 1662, 1663 and 1665. In 1664, Shahistekhan, the Mughal general, even tried to bribe the people of the fort to hand it over to him, but was unsuccessful. Through the Treaty of Purandar, it passed into the hands of the Mughal army chief Mirzaraje Jaysingh, in the year 1665. In 1670, Shivaji Maharaj re-conquered this fort and then it stayed under Maratha rule till 1689. After the death of Sambhaji, the Mughals regained control of the fort. The Marathas, headed by Sardar Balkawade, recaptured it in 1693. Chatrapati Rajaram took asylum on this fort during a Mogul raid on Satara but died on Sinhagad on 3 March 1700. In 1703 Aurangzeb conquered the fort. In 1706, it once again went into the hands of the Marathas. Pantaji Shivdev of Sangola, Visaji Chafar and the Pant Pratinidhis played key role in this battle. Then this fort remained with Marathas till 1818, when the British conquered it. British however took three months to capture this fort, which was longest it took them to win any fort in Maharashtra.

Thanjavur painting is a classical South Indian painting style, originating in the town of Thanjavur (Tanjore) in Tamil Nadu. The art form draws its inspiration from about 1600 AD, a period when the Nayakas of Thanjavur under the suzerainty of the Vijayanagara Rayas encouraged art, chiefly, classical dance and music, as well as literature, both in Telugu and Tamil and painting of chiefly Hindu religious subjects in temples. It is distinguished by its famous gold coating.

Originally named Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, this museum in Mumbai (Bombay) documents the history of India from prehistoric to modern times.
It was founded during British rule of India in the early years of the 20th century by prominent citizens of the city then called Bombay, with the help of the government, to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales (later George V, king of the United Kingdom and emperor of India). It is located in the heart of South Mumbai near the Gateway of India. The museum was renamed in 1998 after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire.
The building is built in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, incorporating elements of other styles of architecture like the Mughal, Maratha and Jain. The museum building is surrounded by a garden of palm trees and formal flower beds.
The King Shivaji museum holds an odd, but interesting, assortment of artifacts that includes pottery, jewelry, sculpture, West Art, archeology, and more. The Heritage architecture of the building is a big attraction.
Until about 20 years ago, it was known as the Prince of Wales Museum, and that name still appears on Google Maps.

Vijaydurg (sometimes written as Viziadurg), the oldest fort on the Sindhudurg coast, was constructed during the regime of Raja Bhoja II of the Shilahar dynasty (construction period 1193-1205) and restructured by Shivaji Maharaj.
According to legend, this is one of only two Maratha forts where Shivaji personally hoisted the saffron flag. The other fort is Torna.
Vijaydurg Fort was called the "Eastern Gibraltar", as it was virtually impregnable. Its locational advantages include the 40 km long Waghotan/Kharepatan creek. Large vessels cannot enter the shallow water of this creek. Also, Maratha warships could be anchored in this creek and yet remain invisible from the sea. It is a protected monument.
