It is approximately square on either foot, long. There are a variety of permanent installations, including a shrine to the god Mahadev. Around long and wide is the lower castle. It is situated on the southeast side of the fort and is surrounded by towers and bastions meters high. Under the orders of King Chhatrapati Shivaji of Maratha, the fortress of Pratapgrad was completed in. The building of the hilltop fortress turned out to be an inspired tactic, as it played a crucial role in the Battle of Pratapgad only three years later, a turning point for the fledgling Maratha.In thes, his Peshwa, or prime minister, Moropant Trimbak Pingle, was directed by the young Maratha King Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to oversee the building of a strategic fort in the Maharashtra State of Western India.
