Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue - Mahabaleshwar    Share

Much of the fortifications are still intact, and the fort is a popular tourist destination. There are four lakes within the fort, many of which overflow during the monsoons. There is a watchtower just beside the Mahadarwaza, or the main entrance, at the end of the motorable road. There is a statue of Shivaji Maharaj in his full glory, which was installed about 60 years ago. There is a Bhawani temple at the top of the fort, and a cultural library showcasing the heritage of the fort.

This statue is located in Pratapgad fort, very well maintained. People see Chathrapati Shivaji as their God, everyone leave their slippers and shoes before going near this statue.

Very nice place
