'''Sarasgad''' ({{lang-mr|सरसगड किल्ला}}) fort is situated near village [[Pali, Raigad|Pali]] in the [[Raigad district]] of [[Maharashtra]]. Pali lies about 10 kilometres East of [[Nagothane]] along the Nagothane-[[Khopoli]] road. This fort height from sea level is 490 meters

==How to reach==
Sarasgad Fort is the twin of [[Sudhagad Fort]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Gunaji|first=Milind|title=Offbeat Tracks in Maharashtra|publisher=Popular Prakashan|date=2005|page=103|isbn=978-81-7154-669-5}}</ref> It can be identified by its four pinnacles and thus was mainly used as a watch place to check the surrounding region. The construction of the fort is now not in a good condition but the huge rock steps are something to be seen. On the way from the south, there are 111 steps carved in stone. The door from this side is known as '[http://www.vacationsadventurous.com/sarasgad-fort-is-an-amazing-trek/ Dindi darvaja]'. There are two routes that lead to the top of this fort from Pali.

==Places to see==
On the top is the [[Shiva]] temple providing an excellent panoramic view of all the mountain ranges surrounding this area. [[Sudhagad]], [[Sankshi fort]], [[Sagargad]] and [[Tail Baila|TailBaila]] can be easily viewed from the top of Sarasgad. There are many caves that were used for soldiers and other purposes because the fort has the very little area available on its top. There are around ten tanks carved in rocks. They provide cool water supply throughout the year, which is very important for any fort.

==History==
It was one of the forts which was captured by Malik Ahmad Nizam Shah I of Ahmednagar in his konkan campaigns in 1485.<ref name="Gazetteer">{{cite web |last1=PATHAK |first1=ARUNCHANDRA |title=Sarasgad |url=https://gazetteers.maharashtra.gov.in/cultural.maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/KOLABA/places_Sarasgad.html |website=www.gazetteers.maharashtra.gov.in |publisher=Govt. of Maharashtra |access-date=1 May 2020}}</ref> [[Shivaji Maharaj]] gave 2000 hones (golden coin used as currency during Shivaji Maharaj's time) for repairing the fortifications of this fort.<ref>http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/Ei/Sarasgad-Trek-Medium-Grade.html</ref> After the victory over Vasai, [[Chimaji Appa]] donated a Portuguese bell to the [[Ballaleshwar Pali|Ballleshwar temple]] which he had brought from [[Vasai]] in 1739.<ref name="Gazetteer" /> Till independence, this fort was in [[Bhor]] princely state.

==Nearby==
Among the [[Ashtavinayaka]]s, [[Ballaleshwar Pali|Ballaleshwar]] at Pali is the only [[Ganesha]] who is famous by the name of his devotee and who is dressed up as a [[Brahmin]]. This place is nestled between the fort Sarasgad and [[Amba River]].
