Descripción del sitio
The fortress is home to a tenth-century temple of Shiva. From 1388 it was a stronghold of the Faruqi rulers of Kandesh who surrendered to the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1601. It is believed that Ashwatthama the son of Guru Dronacharya in Mahabharata arrives here daily morning to this Shiva temple to offer a red rose to seek blessings. People living around the fort have tried to see him but have failed; those who saw lost their eyesight/speech.
