This hill is covered with ample amount of vegetation which gives a relief while ascending the fort. A temple of Goddess Chedu is built adjoining the fort wall and a Sage lives in here. The entrance of the fort is hidden behind a semi-circular wall so that it would be protected from a possible direct attack. There are small narrow windows and porches for the watch keepers in the fort wall. There are remnants of many structures in the fort premise. One can find rooms below the bastion and in the fortified wall.
There is a door to the north and opposite to it also a wall is built. Both the fortified wall and the bastions are in good condition. Darotha and Damanganga river can be seen from the fort. The mountain of the fort is the highest in the region which enables us to view a vast area around it. |
