This rectangular shape of a fort can easily be located from a distance. There is no specific historic sign available except fort structure. The fort is divided into the upper part and lower part due to a rectangular rock. There are few steps that separate these two parts.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://palghar.gov.in/culture-heritage/ |title = Culture & Heritage|website=palghar.gov.in |access-date=2018-06-04}}</ref>
