According to a local folklore, Arjun, the great warrior of Mahabharat kidnapped Subhadra from this very place and thus it is named after him as Arjungad. It is being said that Chimaji Appa later built a fort here. It was under the control of the Portuguese for some time. Right in the middle of the fort there is a temple of Goddess Mahalaxmi and there are steps built for its access. This place is frequently visited by people.
