Rajgad (literally meaning Royal Fort) is one of the forts in the Pune district of Maharashtra state in India.
The fort is around 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level.
Formerly known as Murumdev, it was capital of the Maratha Empire during the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for almost 26 years, after which he moved the capital to Raigad Fort.
Treasure found at an adjacent fort was used to fortify this hill.
The diameter of the fort at the base is 40 km (25 mi) making it difficult for anybody to lay siege to it, adding to its strategic value.
