Namaste friends,

Welcome to my new post and let's explore one of the historic places of India.

India when anyone heard this name they imagine the Taj Mahal and Red fort.But India has more incredible and interesting historical places and Vasai fort is one of those places. This fort is actually built by the Portuguese and later on Maratha king Chimaji app won this fort and gave that victory credits to Indian goddess Vajreshwari. It has a very good history but sadly the government hasn't focused and preserved this fort and because of the reason some of the parts of the fort are collapsed.

Actually, this fort is so big and it's spread over the 10 KM area. So now you imagine how its look in that era and how difficult it was for the opponent to capture this fort. It has so much importance in the time of the Maratha empire. So now you all thinks How to reach there and how much entry cost to visit this fort

I really disappointed after seeing the situation of the fort and only local people are doing the restoration work of the fort. But they didn't have that much money. Even this fort is known globally but still, it's not attracted the Indian government. Below are some pictures of the fort which I clicked. I hope you all like it.
