| Bhagwantgad can be reached by boat from Kava Masure village with a nominal fare of Rs. 5 per person. On alighting on the other side of creek in village Bhagwantgad, a 5 minutes walk to the left take us near a school. A further 10 minutes walk from the backside of the school takes us to the fort. Main entrance of the fort has hardly any remnants. The bastion and fortifying wall are in complete ruins. Lord Siddheshwar’s Temple on the fort is the only remaining architecture. The shapeless stone inside this temple is the idol of Lord Siddheshwar. A holy basil plant planted in a special masonry structure of 4 feet height (Tulsi Vrindavan. This is generally found in the center of courtyard of Hindus houses) can be found in the temple premises. As the fort hardly witnesses visits of tourists / trekkers , there is a dense vegetation cover all over the fort. Due of this, the remnants on the fort can hardly be seen. The remnants of fortifying wall are spread all across the fort. One can take a bird’s eye view of Bharatgad and Kalaval creek. On the way to Bharatgad from Malvan, an ancient Rameshwar Temple near Angnewadi village can also be visited. |
