Vijaydurg or Victory Fort:
The oldest fort on Sindhudurg coast constructed in the regime of Raja Bhoj of shilahar dynasty in 1205 (construction period 1193-1205). The fort was earlier known as “Gheria” as it is situated in the village “Girye”. Shivaji Maharaj won this fort from Adilshaha of Bijapur in 1653 and renamed it as “Vijay Durg” as the then Hindu solar ear’s name was “Vijay”. Vijay means Victory.
Sprawling over an area of 48 acres, Vijaydurg, fort of
victory, was once seized by the British following a bloody battle. They renamed
it Fort Augustus. A dilapidated board at the entrance of the fort relates its
history. One of the best views of the fort is from the jetty. The fort
stretches out into the sea and a walk inside its precincts is worthwhile.
Shivaji added triple rows of huge walls, umpteen towers and spacious inner
buildings to it and strengthened it in the 17th century.
Kunkeshwar
Temple, an ancient Shiva Temple is located in Kunkeshwar village, 14 Kms from
Devgad town. A pristine beach with a very long stretch of seashore and white
sand adds to the beauty of temple surroundings. This beautiful temple near
beach has alluring architecture with reminiscent of South Indian style of
temple architecture. Yadav Kings built this temple in 1100 A. D. Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj who rejuvenated this temple many times was a frequent visitor
to this temple. This temple is also famous as Kashi of South Konkan. Sindhudurga
fort:
Sindhudurg Fort
has easefully
shouldered the responsibility of two Forts Sindhudurg & Padmagad on their
broad chest. The name of the fort is given to the Sindhudurg district. Tourist
from all over the world visit through out the year to see this Maratha
glory.The fort was built with the help of huge rocks on the Kurte Island which
amazes people & one appreciates imaginative power of Shivaji. In 1664
shivaji erected this fort on 44 acers of land. In Sindhudurg Fort there is
‘Shri Shivarajeshwar temple’ of King Shivaji. Also there are temples of
Hanuman, Jarimari mandir and Goddess ‘Bhavani Temple’. Impressions of shivaji’s
fingers prints found to be preserved here on one of the wall . Also lies,
inside the fort worth seeing temples of Bhavanimata, Shambhu Mahadev, Jirimiri
& Mahapurush. All are in good conditions.Tarkarli Beach
Tarkarli is a narrow stretch of beach with pristine waters, located at the convergence of the Karli River and the Arabian Sea. It is 546 k.m. away from Mumbai, 6 kms. south of Malvan, on the west coast of India. This place has gained prominence because of its transparently clear seas, where on a fairly sunny day, one can see the sea- bed up to a depth of 20 feet.
