It is one of the most important forts in Maharashtra, and has a rich history dating back to the 14th century. The fort was built by the Yadav kings, and was later captured by the Mughals and the Marathas. It was finally abandoned in the 19th century. Lohagad is a large fort, and covers an area of over 100 acres. The walls are made of massive stones, and are up to 30 feet high in places. The fort has a number of gates, bastions, and towers. The main gate is called the Bhairav Darwaza, and is guarded by a huge statue of the god Bhairav. The fort is also home to a number of temples, including the temples of Shiva, Vishnu, and Ganesha.
