'''Bhavangad Fort ''' ({{lang-mr|भवानगड किल्ला}}, {{lang-hi|भवानगड क़िला}}, transliteration: ''Bhavа̄ngad Qilа̄'') is a fort located 3 km from village Kelve, in [[Palghar district]], of [[Maharashtra]]. This fort is in very dilapidated condition. The outer walls, steps, parapets, bastions etc. were built without using limestone at many places. This fort was built to capture the [[Fort Bassein]] by [[Maratha Army]].

==History==
This fort was built by [[Chimaji Appa]] to check the atrocities by [[Portugal|Portuguese]]. This fort was built in 1737 rains with the help of 2000 laborers.

==Places to see==
The Fort is in a dilapidated state. Few remains of the bastion, fort walls, and the water cistern are seen on the fort. There is a temple of Bhavangadeshwar temple on the highest point on the fort. It takes about an hour to walk around the parapet wall and visit all the places of the fort.
