Durgadi Fort
Durgadi is a derived from union of two Marathi words Durga (A Hindu Goddess) and Gaad (Which means 'Fort' in Marathi language). Durgadi Fort is Kalyan city's most adored historical monument, a sacred worshiping place and even a recreation spot for many Kalyankars. Durgadi Fort also called as Durgadi Killa was constructed during Shivaji's Era in honour of hindu deity Mata Durga.
Durgadi was captured by Moghul Sardar Hasan Ali Khan in 1682. Sambhaji Maharaj recaptured it. However the Moghuls took over it in 1689. It later went into the hands of Peshwas. In 1728, the Portuguese attacked Durgadi, but were repelled by Peshwa commander Shankarji Keshav.
On Tripurari Pornima, Durgadi Fort is illuminate with the Hundreds of the Diyas, its festival of lights.
