It is a monument of his prophetic vision of Hindavi Swarajya. Stories of incredible valor and heroic deeds are etched on every pebble at Raigad.  The fort in Raigad stands as a silent reminder of Maharashtra's glorious past though the sound of trumpets or the clang of clashing swords and shields are heard no more at this historic monument.
